The paper focuses on the study of the distribution of organic carbon content in eroded soils and its relation to the relief of the site using global information products and cartographic modeling. It has been established that the highest intensity of water erosion is observed in areas with significant elevation variations and a high degree of forestation, in particular in the Lokhvytsia district. The average values of organic carbon in the soils affected by water erosion are 7.11 per 5 g/kg for low-leached soils, 6.33 for medium leached, 5.44 for heavily leached and 6.00 for washed out soils.
The study emphasises the important role of SOC in preventing water erosion and suggests the use of global information products to assess erosion at both local and regional levels.
