Short summary
We used satellite data and thousands of soil samples to create detailed global maps showing how soil changes over time. These maps reveal important patterns in soil health, such as a significant global loss of soil carbon in the past 25 years. Our results help track land degradation and support better land restoration efforts. This work provides a new global tool for understanding and protecting soil, a key resource for food, water, and climate.
