  abstract = {{I}n semiarid {S}ahelian region, the dynamics of soil organic carbon ({SOC}) and water are key to sustainable land management. {T}his work focuses on the behaviour of carbon. {A} total of 33 soil profiles in four polders, ranging from 10 to 65 years in age, were sampled, analysed (0–1 m), and matched with marsh soil profiles in recent sediments considered as reference (t0) for carbon stocks determination. {SOC} and soil inorganic carbon ({SIC}) stocks show a spatial variability between polders. {SOC} stocks were t0 200 ± 0.8; t60 183 ± 34; and t65 189 ± 1.1 {M}g{C}·ha−1, whereas the {SIC} stocks were negligible. {T}hese results show the highest stocks of soil carbon observed for this climatic region. {T}he {SOC} stocks were also calculated for the equivalent soil mass at a defined depth (0–0.3 m); the corrected calculation of {SOC} stocks ({S}corr) for 2450 {M}g·ha−1 of equivalent soil mass is t0 64 ± 1.9, t60 59 ± 9.8, and t65 53 ± 2.2 {M}g{C}·ha−1; the stocks decrease by −7.8% and −17.2% from t0 to t60 and t65. {C}arbon was inherited from the pre-existing·marsh and the polders have conserved high stock values.},
