Introduction Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition can impact the levels of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total (total N) by altering N availability. However, effect input on mineralization SOC in various aggregate size fractions requires further clarification. Methods The samples were collected from a Pinus massoniana plantation situated Three Gorges Reservoir Area China. Over period three years, soils subjected to four different addition (0 [N0], 30 [N30], 60 [N60], 90 [N90] kg ha −1 yr ). aggregates was evaluated through an incubation experiment, encompassing sizes (2000 − 8000, 1000 2000, 250 1000, < μm). Results μm fraction showed highest cumulative C mineralization, while lowest observed 2000 8000 fraction. Compared um fraction, drop 9 21% indicating that enhance stability soil. Cumulative consistently at their reducing mineralization-related loss. Adding forest led reduction mineralization. In contrast, opposite trend after adding microaggregates. Nitrification main contributor net increased response N30 N60. leads increase weight ratio Moreover, N90 linked decreases microbial biomass N. Discussion These findings confirm structural characteristics play crucial role sequestering sequestration presence deposition, highlighting loss caused input.

Abstract Purpose Although past studies have found well-constrained soil carbon (C)/nutrient ratios, the effects of increased nitrogen (N) and water inputs on these ratios across depths rarely been assessed in semi-arid grasslands. Methods In this study, we evaluated contents total C, N, phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), their stoichiometric a 0–80 cm profile following 13 years successive N (at rates 5 15 g m −2 yearr −1 ) addition (180 mm per growing season) grassland Mongolian Plateau. Results 0–10 layer, long-term tended to increase C but decreased P S compared control. The addition, as observed soil, however, were not consistent with that deep 10–80 layers. Water entire content only 0–40 soil. Moreover, combined generally had stronger four elements whole profile. For stoichiometry elements, low rate (5 year C:N P:S soils, high (15 produced opposite effect. Both resulted an C:P, C:S, N:P, N:S ratios. Similarly, plots received water, alone while caused higher fluctuations six elemental However, there was no pattern change any one ratio, independent when taking into account depths. Conclusion Our findings showed P, highly influenced by depth could be modulated increasing precipitation. These results need carefully considered managing ecological environment steppes.

Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in ecosystem function and productivity, particularly carbon (C) cycling grassland ecosystems. However, changes the structural complexity of DOM desert steppe following long‐term treatment with nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) remain unclear; this limits our understanding nutrient‐related soil C cycle steppe. In present study, experiments were conducted 0–10 cm layer northern China from 2017 to 2021, four treatments established: P, N, N + P (NP), no nutrient addition (CK). The content chemical composition determined by ultraviolet–visible absorbance, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Compared CK treatment, increased 2.86%–53.84%.
