N1 - Funding Information:
The main financial support for the realization of the workshop was received from The University of Sheffield, the USA National Science Foundation and the EC JRC at Ispra, Italy.
Funding Information:
should focus on how to optimize the benefits of soil carbon across various spatial scales where management strategies vary at the farm/plot-, catchment-, and global-level. Third, there is a need to identify the critical ranges/thresholds of SOC losses and recoveries for management purposes and to include the ability to estimate the economic value of investments in soil carbon. All these fundamental research priorities must inform public and economic interests and provide information for policy and actions towards reducing soil carbon losses. Finally, the realization of these priorities will not be possible without committed long-term funding and support from national research agencies and international organizations (e.g., World Bank through the CG funded programmes).

N2 - A Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment Rapid Assessment (SCOPE-RAP) workshop was held on 18-22 March 2013. This workshop was hosted by the European Commission, JRC Centre at Ispra, Italy, and brought together 40 leading experts from Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America to create four synthesis chapters aimed at identifying knowledge gaps, research requirements, and policy innovations. Given the forthcoming publication by CABI of a book volume of the outcomes of the SCOPE-RAP in 2014, this workshop report provides an update on the global societal challenge of soil carbon management and some of the main issues and solutions that were identified in the four working sessions.
