abstract = {Intensive vegetable production in greenhouses has rapidly
expanded in China since the 1990s and increased to 1.3
million ha of farmland by 2016, which is the highest in the
world. We conducted an 11‐year greenhouse vegetable
production experiment from 2002 to 2013 to observe soil
organic carbon (SOC) dynamics under three management
systems, i.e., conventional (CON), integrated (ING), and
intensive organic (ORG) farming. Soil samples (0–20 and
20–40 cm depth) were collected in 2002 and 2013 and
separated into four particle‐size fractions, i.e., coarse
sand (> 250 µm), fine sand (250–53 µm), silt (53–2
µm), and clay (< 2 µm). The SOC contents and δ13C values
of the whole soil and the four particle‐size fractions
were analyzed. After 11 years of vegetable farming, ORG and
ING significantly increased SOC stocks (0–20 cm) by 4008
± 36.6 and 2880 ± 365 kg C ha−1 y−1, respectively,
8.1‐ and 5.8‐times that of CON (494 ± 42.6 kg C ha−1
y−1). The SOC stock increase in ORG at 20–40 cm depth
was 245 ± 66.4 kg C ha−1 y−1, significantly higher than
in ING (66 ± 13.4 kg C ha−1 y−1) and CON (109 ± 44.8
kg C ha−1 y−1). Analyses of 13C revealed a significant
increase in newly produced SOC in both soil layers in ORG.
However, the carbon conversion efficiency (CE: increased
organic carbon in soil divided by organic carbon input) was
lower in ORG $(14.4\%–21.7\%)$ than in ING
$(18.2\%–27.4\%).$ Among the four particle‐sizes in the
0–20 cm layer, the silt fraction exhibited the largest
proportion of increase in SOC content $(57.8\%$ and $55.4\%$
of the SOC increase in ORG and ING, respectively). A similar
trend was detected in the 20–40 cm soil layer. Over all,
intensive organic (ORG) vegetable production increases soil
organic carbon but with a lower carbon conversion efficiency
than integrated (ING) management.},
