C sequestration in soils is a potential way to mitigate climate change and increase the fertility of arable soils. Ley has long been known to deliver more C to its root systems compared to annual crops. Therefore, it has been suggested as a potential C sequestration strategy. My objective was to evaluate the SOC sequestration potential of ley in Nordic countries by studying three Swedish long-term experimental sites. From each site a ley rotation and bar-ley monoculture rotation were selected, and mineral- was compared to combined fertilization. Two of the sites (in N. Sweden) were measured for SOC stocks, while corresponding data was available for the third site (in S. Sweden). Higher topsoil SOC stocks was found for ley rotation than barl...
