Abstract
, accounting for 22.7%-59.0% of the total organic carbon. The main organic functional group in paddy soil was polysaccharides, followed by aliphatic carbon and aromatic carbon. The abundance of all those groups was affected by winter Chinese milk vetch growing and straw returning. Compared with other treatments, DSMV significantly increased the proportion of super aggregates (>2 mm) and macroaggregates (0.25-2 mm) and favored the accumulation of inert carbon such as aromatic carbon in the two kinds of aggregates. DSMV could enhance the stability of soil aggregates and organic matter, which had high potential in the real agricultural production.
