Reduction of uncertainties
+ Improving the sampling design.
+ Reducing the heterogeneity between the field and laboratory protocols.
+ Correcting errors during the process of spatial propagation.

We harmonized all the methods needed to quantify organic carbon.
1) Sample preparation
2) Bul density: coarse, fine and organic fraction.
3) Total Carbon, Shimadzu, TOC 5000A/5050.
4) Organic matter. Dry combustion (LOI).
5) Carbon Spectroscopy by NIR and chemometric.
6) Carbon and Nitrogen by Total Analyzer (LECO).
7) Carbon and Nitrogen by Elemental Analyzer Flash 2000-N-C Soils Analyzer.
8) Total Nitrogen by digested Amonium.

Soil Organic Carbon Mapadvantages
1) They show a large quantity of data in an adequate spatial distribution.
2) We have a quality control in all processes - field, laboratory and propagation of data.
3) Our values of concentrations and stocks of organic carbon are reasonable precision.
4) Since 2016, we have a permanent control of uncertainties.
5) The map represents in a highly detailed manner the losses and gains of organic.

Basic codes of change
1 Loss due to deforestation
2 Loss due to degradation
3 Gain due to recuperation
4 Other change
There is now better detail in the delimitation of erosion and deforestation. In the medium term Mexico will remarkably develop its carbon gains-loss estimates from this type of mapping.
