Summary
ABSTRACT Hedge agroforestry systems have a high potential to store additional carbon in field margins and are considered able to help mitigate climate change. However, the influence of hedges on the distribution of soil organic carbon among particulate organic matter and mineral‐associated organic matter fractions along the soil profile is not fully understood, especially for deep soil layers. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the influence of hedges on the distribution of soil organic carbon stocks between soil fractions and analyze the variability in this distribution among depths for different land uses in an agricultural landscape. To this end, 18 study sites, corresponding to fields next to hedges more than 70 years old, were sampled to determine the d
