N1 - Funding Information:
We acknowledge Deborah McGrath, Richard Harper and Stanley Sochacki for providing the paper contributing data. This study was initially funded by the NERC project (NE/N017854/1). It was finished by the BBSRC project BB/P027784/1 (AFRICAP), which supported A. Ledo. Y.L. Zinn is supported by CNPq (grant #302038/2016-7). A. Datta is thankful to the Director, and HSCM, ICAR-CSSRI for providing necessary facilities during attachement training study. Data provided by N. McNamara and J. Whitaker are from the Energy Technologies Institute “Ecosystem Land Use Project” (www.elum.ac.uk). An anonymous reviewer provided useful comments to improve the first version of the manuscript.

N2 - A global, unified dataset on Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) changes under perennial crops has not existed till now. We present a global, harmonised database on SOC change resulting from perennial crop cultivation. It contains information about 1605 paired-comparison empirical values (some of which are aggregated data) from 180 different peer-reviewed studies, 709 sites, on 58 different perennial crop types, from 32 countries in temperate, tropical and boreal areas; including species used for food, bioenergy and bio-products. The database also contains information on climate, soil characteristics, management and topography. This is the first such global compilation and will act as a baseline for SOC changes in perennial crops. It will be key to supporting global modelling of land use and carbon cycle feedbacks, and supporting agricultural policy development.
