摘要： The fractions and sources of soil organic carbon (SOC) influence its composition, accumulation, stability, and turnover rate. However, the effects of fertilizer nitrogen (N) management on SOC fractions across soil profile remain poorly understood. This 15-year wheat-maize rotation study investigated the effects of optimal (Opt.N) and conventional (Con.N) N fertilization rates on SOC density, sources, and fractions. Opt.N was optimized N fertilizer rate based on the in-season root zone N management strategy, and Con.N was the farmer' conventional N management. Compared to unfertilized control, N fertilization significantly increased SOC density in topsoil. Specifically, Opt.N significantly increased particulate organic matter (POM) in the topsoil by 10.8 %, and also exhibited the highest lignin phenols content (124.6 mu g g-1). Additionally, N fertilization significantly increased amino sugars content for all SOC fractions in topsoil and for POM fraction in subsoil. Opt.N promoted plant-derived carbon accumulation while maintaining a balanced microbial-derived carbon, whereas Con.N favored bacterial necromass dominance in topsoil. N fertilization decreased the microbial-to plant-derived carbon ratio (M:P) by 30.0-58.6 % in both the topsoil and the subsoil, which had a linear negative correlation with the M:P ratio in the topsoil, suggesting plant-derived carbon was the dominant contributor to SOC density. In the subsoil, microbial-derived carbon contributed more to SOC due to reduced plant carbon input. In conclusion, our study deepened understanding of SOC fractions and sources in both topsoil and subsoil under long-term N fertilization, and highlighted the critical role of plant-derived carbon on SOC sequestration in agro-ecosystems.
