This study involves generation and logical integration of
non-spatial and spatial data in a geographical information system
framework to address the gap in national level soil organic carbon
estimates. Remote sensing derived inputs and other spatial layers
are corrected and integrated using same geographical standards. A
relational data base of soil organic carbon density of Indian forest
was prepared with attribute information. Hierarchical approach was
followed to stratify and verify each sample from the data base using
the corrected input layers in GIS and the resulting spatially
distributed data is called Indian forest soil organic carbon
database. The estimated mean soil organic carbon density for
Indian forest is 70 t ha−1 and varied from 35.4 t ha−1 in Tropical
thorn forest to 104.2 t ha−1 in Himalayan moist temperate forest in
the upper 30 cm of soil depth. Due to large variations in the surface
layers the estimated standard error ranged from ±1.5 to 15 % for the
upper 30 cm layer which is generally higher than the bottom soil
layers. The level of detail in the data base helps to establish base
line information for global, national and regional level studies
