  abstract = {{T}he inventory of the carbon ({C}) pools in {A}frica's ecosystems is not well documented, although it is crucial to support climate mitigation policies. {W}e quantified the {C} stocks in plant biomass, woody necromass, litter and soil (0-30 and 30-100 cm) for the five main land uses - forest, tree plantation, young and adult palm groves, croplands - of {F}erralsols on the {A}llada plateau in southeast {B}enin. {F}orests have the highest total {C} stocks (389 +/- 54 {M}g {C} ha(-1)) compared with other land uses (222 +/- 33, 154 +/- 6, 105 +/- 2, 77 +/- 3 {M}g {C} ha(-1) in tree plantations, adult palm groves, young palm groves and croplands, respectively). {T}he {C} stocks are higher in the biomass than in the soil (0-100 cm), e.g. in the forest, stocks were 279 +/- 54 {M}g {C} ha(-1) in the biomass versus 83 +/- 2 {M}g {C} ha(-1) in the soil. {D}ifferences of soil {C} stocks between land uses are low (approximate to 28 {M}g {C} ha(-1)) and concentrated in topsoils. {T}he structure and species diversity of the forest partly explained the variability and the high {C} biomass compared to tree plantations. {T}ype of forest and plantations is important to consider in conserving {C} stocks in landscapes.},
