Summary
Carbon farming has been recently proposed as an effective measure for climate change mitigation through carbon (C) sequestration or C emissions reduction. In order to identify and estimate the climate change mitigation potential of carbon farming practices on European croplands we conduct a systematic review on both relative and absolute annual soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change (ΔSOC REL; ΔSOC ABS ) related to single and combined agroecological practices tested on mineral soils at a minimum of 0–30 cm and up to 150 cm soil depth whenever data were available. We used the term ΔSOC REL for SOC stock changes determined by the paired comparison method and the term ΔSOC ABS for those calculated using the SOC stock difference method. We compiled a dataset with more than 700 records on SOC c
