| Abstract: | Key findings • Total organic carbon in the surface 10 cm was 19–28% greater under minimum tillage than conventional tillage across 122 Chromosol and Vertosol sites. • The influence of rainfall, temperature, bulk density, texture, and management history on soil C stocks needs to be considered when assessing C sequestration potential of cropping soils. |
