T.  aSoil carbon storage in Brazilian drylandsba review.h[electronic resource]  c2025  aAgricultural systems that promote soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration need to be implemented to mitigate climate change. The scientific literature indicates that integrated agricultural systems (IASs) can increase SOC stocks across various regions globally. However, information on the influence of IASs on SOC stock in Brazilian drylands is still scarce. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of land use and climate classes on SOC stock and total nitrogen (TN) stock in the Brazilian drylands. Forty-eight studies were selected to extract data on SOC and TN stocks in croplands, pasturelands, IASs, and native vegetation. A linear mixed model was used to assess the effect of land use and climate classes on SOC stock and TN stock. SOC stocks (0–50 cm) were higher (p &lt 0.05) in native vegetation (86.6 Mg C ha− 1 ), IASs (87.6 Mg C ha− 1 ), and pasturelands (78.2 Mg C ha− 1 ) than in croplands (60.3 Mg C ha− 1 ). The IASs had the lowest TN stocks, possibly due to the high input of residues with a high C/N ratio from forestry components. Less literature data is available for IASs regarding SOC stock and TN stock than for other land uses. In conclusion, the adoption of IASs shows potential to mitigate SOC losses, but caution is advised when extrapolating our numerical findings due to the limited data availability in the Brazilian drylands. This review highlights the importance of combining land use and climate class analyses to design targeted strategies for enhancing SOC accrual and promoting resilience in Brazilian drylands.b  aIntegrated agricultural systems  aLand use  aSoil organic carbon  aCarbono  aComposto Orgânico  aSolo  aUso da Terra  aEstoque de carbono  aRegião Semiárida  aSemiárido  aSistema agrícola integrado1 aVILLELA, J.
