Summary

Description
English: Schematic representation of total soil organic C (carbon) and C4-C changes in topsoil after conversion of former C3 cropland (a) or C3 grassland (b) to Miscanthus. The green color of soil organic C represents the contribution of Miscanthus-derived C4-C, and the brown color represents the C derived from C3 cropland or grassland. The yellow circle shows the mean resident time of soil organic matter under Miscanthus, which was around 60 years. T0 represents the starting point of land-use change to Miscanthus. Although Miscanthus roots can penetrate down to 3 m depth, the main root mass of Miscanthus is concentrated within the upper 60 cm. Root growth in the Bsw horizon of our loamy Gleyic Cambisol was restricted because of the oxygen limitation. Accordingly, C4‐C decreased markedly below 50 cm compared to the topsoil (Fig. 1). Nonetheless, up to 33% of total Miscanthus‐derived C accumulated below 50 cm after 21 years.
