[Display omitted] •Mechanisms of higher C and N stocks in paddies than upland soils are reviewed.•Climate effects on stocks are weakened by management (puddling and flooding).•Larger organic C input in paddies compared to most upland cereals was found.•Lower O2 availability leads to slow decompositi...
