Short summary
This study compiles a global database of soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, a key factor in soil health and climate change. Using machine learning, it identifies the most influential factors affecting soil DOC levels and maps global DOC patterns. The findings help guide soil management and climate strategies, with the dataset available for further research.
