Abstract

ABSTRACT Green manuring and crop straw returning are widely used to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, while the pathways and drivers in native SOC mineralization and new SOC formation after implementing these practices remain unclear. Here, through a 10‐locations' network field experiment in southern China, the effects of green manuring (Mv), rice straw returning (Rs), and their combination (MR) on soil C sequestration efficiency (CSE) were evaluated. A microcosmic experiment was performed to trace the components and participants of SOC mineralization and formation under the three practices. The network experiment showed that Mv, Rs, and MR annually improved SOC stock by 119.7, 477.0, and 830.2…
