Identification of diagnostic soil organic matter (SOM) fractions and the mechanisms controlling their formation and turnover is critical for better understanding of C dynamics in soils. Enhanced microaggregate formation and stabilization of C due to reduced macroaggregate turnover has been proposed as a mechanism promoting C sequestration in no-tillage (NT) compared with conventional tillage (CT) systems in temperate soils dominated by 2:1 clay mineralogy. We evaluated the contribution of macroaggregate-protected microaggregates to total soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in NT relative to CT in three soils differing in clay mineralogy: a 2:1 claydominated soil (2:1), a soil with mixed clay mineralogy [2:1 and 1:1] and oxides (mixed), and a soil dominated by (1:1) clay minerals and oxides (1:1). Microaggregates (mM) were isolated from macroaggregates from 0- to 5- and 5- to 20-cm soil layers. Particulate organic matter (POM) located within the microaggregates (intra-mM-POM) was separated from POM outside of the microaggregates (inter-mMPONI) and the mineral fraction of the microaggregates (mineral-mM). In all three soils, total SOC as well as microaggregate-associated C (mM-C) was greater with NT compared with CT. Although less than half of the total SOC under NT was associated with the microaggregate fraction, more than 90% of the total difference in SOC between NT and CT was explained by the difference in mM-C in all three soils. Thus, we identified and isolated a fraction that explains almost the entire difference in total SOC between NT and CT across soils characterized by drastically different clay mineralogy.
