Abstract

Based on seventeen year positioned experiment research, the results showed dry sieve aggregates (DSA) in plow layer and plow pan of a reddish paddy soil mainly consisted of DSA 5mm,and its proportion in treatments with organic materials application was lower than those without; for wet sieve aggregates (WSA), WSA5mm accounted for the highest proportion in plow layer,and WSA0.25mm did so in plow pan. The organic C and total N contents in WSAs concentrated in 1mm WSAs with the highest value appearing in WSA5-2mm of plow layer, and decreased with decreasing WSA size, with the highest value appearing in WSA5mm in plow layer. The ratio of C/N increased from WSA5mm to WSA2-1mm and decreased since WSA2-1mm in plow layer. However, it indicated a decreasing tread with decreasing WSA size in plow pan. Long-term organic materials returning, especially combined with inorganic fertilizers addition, can significantly improve organic C and total N contents in plow layers,and leave a few impacts on them in plow pan; if chemical fertilizers were applied alone, the effects on organic C and total N contents in plow layer were not obvious.
