Résumé

Changing soil use from cropland to grassland influences organic carbon storage in a highly complex way. This includes the root/shoot allocation, the root depth distribution, the incorporation of shoot biomass and lateral organic carbon fluxes, by erosion and removal of harvested carbon, and finally the aeration by tillage. An experiment was designed allowing resampling a number of soils 18 yr after conversion to grassland (either pasture or meadow or set-aside) only 20 cm apart from the original sampling to exclude site variation. Before conversion to grassland the cropland was prone to erosion, with a mean lateral carbon flux during 20 yr prior to conversion of 13 t ha
