Great start on your article! You use a balanced and neutral tone throughout and cite a variety of sources, which is important. The sentences you've added so far are logical and well-written, but I have some suggestions for the placement of these sentences in the article (see below).

Lead: The lead does a good job providing an overview of the article. I think that the sentence you added was important for improving the coverage of the lead.

Content: The content of the article provides a good overview of what soil carbon is, why it's important, and how humans modify it. Without knowing much about the subject I don't have any suggestions for what you should add.

Tone and Balance: The tone is neutral and balanced. Under the "Data available on soil organic carbon" section there is only a subsection on Europe. Is there more data available from other parts of the world? This is important to consider so this article presents an unbiased description of soil carbon. If there isn't data from other parts of the would it might be important to mention that.

Sources and References: You used a variety of sources which is great. Many of the sources come from the early 2000s, so if there are more current sources on these topics with updated information that would be important to add.

Organization: I would move the sentence you added to the lead to the end of that paragraph. Then the reader can learn about what soil carbon is and how humans modify it before that sentence tells them about the importance of soil carbon.

I would move the sentences you added to the Global Carbon Cycle section to the Losses section. These sentences don't make a lot of sense without the context of the paragraphs in the Global Carbon Cycle section, so I think it's important to keep this information after the reader learns about the global carbon cycle.

Images and Media: The images present in the article are appropriate and well-captioned. I think that this article has enough images so I would not suggest adding more unless you removed one.

Overall: Overall great start! Make sure to add a few more sentences/paragraphs throughout the article to further improve this article!
