abstract = {The Atacama Desert is the oldest and driest desert on
Earth, nevertheless traces of life have been observed in
several places, accumulating residues of organic matter (OM)
in the desert soil. We evaluated to which degree the
distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks depends on
aridity. We questioned that these OM traces of life
preferentially accumulate in topsoil and investigated
whether there was also an enrichment of OM in deeper
subsoil. We sampled four west-east directed transects with
increasing distance to the coast, spanning the Atacama
Desert from north to south, plus a hyperarid site at Yungay
in the centre of the desert. With a nested sampling design
we addressed topsoil heterogeneity at each sampling site
(n ≤ 18). For 12 of these sites soil profiles were dug
to 0.6–2.0 m depth. The SOC concentrations were
determined for each sample by temperature-dependent
differentiation of total carbon.},
