Popis: The straw returning technique is one of the important measures for soil carbon sequestration and soil organic carbon (SOC) promotion in the world. However, the patterns of straw utilization in China with various methods among regions, the effect and variability of straw returning on SOC in different areas of China remain uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of 446 sets of data from 95 studies in China field to explore how the environmental factors and field management affect SOC after straw returning. The results showed that straw returning to the field significantly increase SOC content by an average of 13.97% (n = 446). The SOC increased effects are more obvious under areas with mean annual precipitation (MAP) > 500 mm, temperature (MAT) > 10 °C, loam or sandy soil, or the initial SOC content
