本研究は、都市拡大による土壌有機炭素（SOC）損失を都市計画と建築LCAに統合し、その規模と緩和策を評価した。オークランドのケースでは、SOC配慮型計画により14.6%のSOC（0.092 MtCO2-eq）を保全でき、建設部門の国全体の削減目標の20-46%に相当する。建築レベルでは、SOC損失が従来の組込み影響の最大70.9%に達するケースもあり、LCAへのSOCモジュール追加の重要性を示した。
English
This study integrates soil organic carbon (SOC) loss into urban planning and building LCA, assessing its magnitude and mitigation. In Auckland, a SOC-aware scenario conserved 14.6% of SOC (0.092 MtCO2-eq), equivalent to 20-46% of the national embodied impact reduction target for construction. At building level, SOC loss can reach up to 70.9% of conventional embodied impacts, highlighting the need for SOC-aware LCA.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、SSBJ開示や建設分野の脱炭素政策が進む中、土地改変に伴う炭素損失の考慮は重要。都市計画や建築LCAへのSOC統合は、日本の都市開発や再開発におけるカーボンニュートラル戦略に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, this research advances LCA methodology by incorporating soil carbon loss, aligning with ISSB and CSRD emphasis on environmental impacts. It provides a replicable framework for urban planners and construction firms to quantify and mitigate land-use-related emissions, supporting climate disclosure and transition finance.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Urban expansion depletes soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through topsoil disturbance, removal, and sealing, contributing to carbon emissions and climate change. However, SOC considerations are largely absent from urban sustainability practice. This study integrates SOC loss into two distinct assessment domains-urban planning and building life cycle assessment (LCA)-to evaluate its magnitude at both the urban and building levels and investigate potential pathways to mitigate it. At the urban level, a business-as-usual urban expansion scenario for Auckland, New Zealand, is modelled and compared with a SOC-aware alternative that prioritizes development on low-SOC soils. The SOC-aware scenario was found to conserve 14.6% of SOC (0.092 MtCO2-eq), equivalent to 20-46% of the national embodied impact reduction target for the construction sector, demonstrating the significance of SOC-aware planning. At the building level, SOC loss is introduced as a potential LCA module, examining four residential typologies-apartment, townhouse, double-storey detached, and single-storey detached-to evaluate its magnitude relative to conventional embodied impacts. The results indicate that SOC loss can account for up to 70.9% of conventionally assessed embodied impacts in extreme cases (for single-storey detached house built on Organic Soils), while remaining a substantial contributor in all other cases-on average representing 0.9%, 4.6%, 9.3%, and 21.5% of conventional embodied impacts for apartment, townhouse, double-storey detached, and single-storey detached houses, respectively. Overall, integrating SOC loss into decision-relevant assessments reveals its substantial magnitude and offers an opportunity to reduce it, while underscoring the need for improved soil characterization in areas zoned for urban expansion.
