Abstract. The direction and magnitude of soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) change following land use and land cover change (LULCC) are highly uncertain, largely due to the lack of relevant global soil data. Great efforts have been made to build SOCS database at regional, national and even sub-continental scales following LULCC; however, a comprehensive and open-access global database has not yet been developed, hindering a deep understanding of LULCC impact on SOCS dynamics. In this study, we introduce a new global SOCS database for LULCC, compiled from 639 articles documented in the Web of Science through the end of 2023. Targeting five major land uses (cropland, grasslands, forest, plantation, and savanna), this database – named the Global Soil Organic Carbon Stock dataset after Land Use and Land Cover Change (GSOCS-LULCC) – include 1,206 sites with 5,982 records at various sampling depths. The database will enable users to assess the global impact of LULCC on SOCS dynamics and identify the factors that control SOCS changes for specific types of LULCC. The GSOCS-LULCC database is freely available from the Zenodo platform at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11183819 (Chen et al., 2024).

Short summary
The impact of land use and land cover change (LULCC) on soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) is uncertain due to limited global data. Despite regional efforts, a comprehensive global SOCS database has been lacking. This study introduces the Global Soil Organic Carbon Stock dataset after LULCC (GSOCS-LULCC), compiled from 639 articles covering 1,206 sites and 5,982 records across five major land uses. This open-access database enables global assessment of LULCC's effects on SOCS dynamics.
