Short summary
This study follows organic carbon from soils along sediment flow paths at catchment scale to analyse the evolution of OC pools. Selectivity of particles during detachment and transport, and protection of OC during transport and deposition are key for the concentration and quality of OC at depositional settings and for the terrestrial carbon sink. OC can also be increased by ecological processes and by replacement in eroded areas, converting catchments into relevant sinks for C budget.
