Comparing the linkages between carbon components and soil aggregates in vegetable fields to continuous input of different carbon sources
Biochar and organic fertilizer differentially influenced soil organic carbon composition. Organic fertilizer improved carbon pool characteristics by mediating macroaggregate formation through labile organic carbon (e.g., DOC and MBC), while biochar contributed directly to carbon sequestration due to its inert and stable nature. Their combined application synergistically enhanced the formation and stability of soil macroaggregates, improved soil carbon pool characteristics, and optimized nutrient availability in vegetable fields. This version improves clarity, conciseness, and flow while maintaining scientific accuracy. Let me know if you'd like any further refinements!.
