摘要： Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural systems is a primary nature- based option for mitigating climate change, improving soil fertility, and ensuring food security. However, the consequences of global warming and increases in carbon inputs on cropland SOC stocks over the last few decades remain largely unknown, particularly in deeper soil layers. Here, by using repeated measurements, we reassess variations in SOC stocks across a 0 to 100 cm soil profile at the same locations in China's upland croplands in 1980 and 2023. We observe an overall net accumulation of 0.74 Pg SOC (7%) with a mean sequestration rate of 13.7 g SOC m-2 y-1. This accumulation results from 0.86 Pg SOC gains at upper soil depths (0 to 60 cm) induced by carbon inputs, alongside 0.12 Pg SOC losses at deeper soil layers (60 to 100 cm) prompted by warming- enhanced decomposition. While our findings indicate a successful, though lower than expected, increase in overall net SOC stocks, the loss of more recalcitrant deeper SOC warrants further consideration of its effects on enhancing cropland SOC accumulation to achieve carbon neutrality over the long term.
