However, most previous studies focused on single soil depth, leading to a poor understanding of SOC in multiple depths. To better understand the spatial distribution pattern of SOC in Northeast and North China Plain, we compared three machine learning algorithms (i.e., Cubist, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Random Forest (RF)) within the digital soil mapping framework. A total of 386 sampling sites (1584 samples) following specific criteria covering all dryland districts and counties and soil types in four depths (i.e., 0\u201310, 10\u201320, 20\u201330 and 30\u201340 cm) were collected in 2017. After feature selection from 249 environmental covariates by the Genetic Algorithm, 29 variables were used to fit models. The results showed SOC increased from southern to northern regions in the spatial scale and decreased with soil depths. From the result of independent verification (validation dataset: 80 sampling sites), RF (R2: 0.58, 0.71, 0.73, 0.74 and RMSE: 3.49, 3.49, 2.95, 2.80 g kg\u22121 in four depths) performed better than Cubist (R2: 0.46, 0.63, 0.67, 0.71 and RMSE: 3.83, 3.60, 3.03, 2.72 g kg\u22121) and XGBoost (R2: 0.53, 0.67, 0.70, 0.71 and RMSE: 3.60, 3.60, 3.00, 2.83 g kg\u22121) in terms of prediction accuracy and robustness. Soil, parent material and organism were the most important covariates in SOC prediction. This study provides the up-to-date spatial distribution of dryland SOC in Northeast and North China Plain, which is of great value for evaluating dynamics of soil quality after long-term cultivation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14102504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T03:16:55Z","timestamp":1653362215000},"page":"2504","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Digital Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon with Machine Learning in Dryland of Northeast and North Plain China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0792-4700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xianglin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing and Information Technology, College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Spectroscopy Sensing, Ministry of Agriculture, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0340-5594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Land Management, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1245-0482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Songchao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological Innovation Center, Hangzhou 311200, China"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing and Information Technology, College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Spectroscopy Sensing, Ministry of Agriculture, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3914-5402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhou","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Applied Remote Sensing and Information Technology, College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Spectroscopy Sensing, Ministry of Agriculture, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6706-0361","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuanfang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Land Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiqing","family":"Zhuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Agriculture, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hangzhou 310021, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114008","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoderma.2019.114008","article-title":"Spatial prediction of soil organic carbon stocks in Ghana using legacy data","volume":"360","author":"Owusu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Geoderma"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Houghton, J.T., Ding, Y., Griggs, D.J., Noguer, M., van der Linden, P.J., Dai, X., Maskell, K., and Johnson, C.
