From the article:

New database of the world’s soils will help better map agricultural output and storage and sequestration of heat trapping carbon dioxide (CO2), one of its creators, the United Nations’ food agency FAO, said on Monday.

Using the database, UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization has also produced a global Carbon Gap Map to help identify areas with considerable soil carbon storage and degraded soils where billions of tons of CO2 could be sequestrated, it said.
