There is little information regarding the impact of plastic film and gravel mulching on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and labile fractions in semiarid areas of northwest China. Based on a 4-year spring maize (Zea mays L.) field experiment at Changwu Agricultural and Ecological Experimental Station, we analyzed the SOC stock, labile SOC pools and the C management index (CMI) in the 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm layers. The three treatments included non-mulched (CK), gravel-mulched (GM) and plastic film-mulched (FM). After the 4-year duration, compared with the initial SOC stock, the SOC stock under GM decreased 0.97 Mg C hm(-2) whereas under FM increased 1.14 Mg C hm(-2) in the 20-40 cm layer. Across the 0-40 cm layer, the SOC stock under GM significantly decreased, whereas under FM demonstrated some tendency to increase. In contrast to the CK, the FM treatment significantly increased light fraction organic C (LFOC) content (density
