Massive carbon addition to an organic-rich Andosol increased the subsoil but not the topsoil carbon stock

Andosols are among the most carbon-rich soils, with an average of 254 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup> organic carbon (OC) in the upper 100 cm. A current theory proposes an upper limit for OC stocks independent of increasing carbon input, because of finite binding capacities of the soil mineral pha...
