Spatial co-variation matters when upscaling environmental samples like soil organic carbon stocks. Geostatistics is under-utilized in most regional estimats. Strong spatial autocorrelation preserves uncertainty in upscaled estimates. By not taking this into account, may estimates report uncertainties that are too small. Properly taking this into account requires large sample sizes. Wadoux and Heuvelink 2023 https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.14106
