Description:	In the mountain region, Rio de Janeiro state, the traditional agriculture is carried in hilly landscape. In these places, sharp erosion, soil degradation, and plant health problems are found, mainly due to the vegetable cultivation under intensive systems. This has led to losses in ecosystem services. An alternative is conservative agriculture, such as no‐tillage, which consists of direct planting of the main crop on cultural remains of cover crops cultivated to keep the soil covered, reducing the use of agricultural inputs, improving soil quality, contributing to the increase in carbon stock and reducing greenhouse gas. However, there is a deficit of quantitative information on carbon stored in no‐tillage system. This paper presents the carbon stock values in soil under three no‐tillage areas.
