Understanding how farming practices implemented by smallholders affect the levels and distribution of SOC in carbon (C) pools with different stabilities is essential in sub-Saharan Arenosols where SOC mineralization is intense. The stability of SOC was studied by thermal (Therm-C), physical (particulate organic matter >50 mu m, POM-C and fine soil fractions <50 mu m, FF-C), chemical (permanganate-oxidizable carbon, POX-C) and biological (mineralizable C, Min-C) approaches. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0-10 and 10-30 cm in cultivated fields (out- or home-fields) without any input, with millet residues, amended with manure, or with household organic wastes. Globally, average SOC contents were low (<6 g C kg-1). The variability in SOC and C pool contents was sensitive to field management. The different approaches to measuring the stability of SOC did not measure the same fraction of SOC. POM-C and Therm-C were correlated and both explained Min-C similarly, thus suggesting that in these sandy soils, POM-C or Therm-C probably measured comparable properties of the stability of C. The lack of relationships between POX-C and other pools suggested that POX-C encompassed a different nature of SOC while providing complementary information on the biogeochemical stability of SOC. specialized Tropical sandy soils Agricultural practices Particulate organic matter Permanganate-oxidizable carbon Mineralized carbon Rock-Eval thermal analysis SENEGAL ZONE SAHELIENNE ZONE TROPICALE 068 076 020 213 104978 [13 p.] 2023 0140-1963 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010087624 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2023.104978 0140-1963 [F B010087624] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010087624 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2023-06/010087624.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2023-06-30 2026-06-12 fdi:010087624 fre
