Abstract: 【Objective】The effects of different amounts of residue incorporation on the contents of no-tillage soil lignin (VSC) was examined to investigate the impact of the processes and mechanisms of conservation tillage on soil organic carbon sequestration and balance.【Method】 Soil samples were collected from four treatments (no stalk mulching, 33% stalk mulching, 67% stalk mulching and 100% stalk mulching) for assessing lignin and its degree of structural alteration in a long-term field experiment with conservation tillage in Lishu. 【Result】 Compared with no stalk mulching, lignin was accumulated on the soil surface layer with stalk mulching for four years, and lignin contents decreased with soil depth. VSC gradually increased along with the increasing residue incorporation in 0-2 cm layer, and the contents of VSC in 100% straw mulching was 5.06 times that of no stalk mulching. Compared with no stalk mulching, lignin contents was found among the treatments in 5-20 cm layer. The relative accumulation of lignin-derived carbon in SOM was reduced with depth, but increased with straw mulching. The ratios of syringyl-to-vanillyl phenols (S/V) and cinnamyl-to-vanillyl phenols (C/V) declined while the acid-aldehyde ratios of the S (Ac/Al)S and V (Ac/Al)V units increased, suggesting a lower state of lignin degradation with stalk mulching. 【Conclusion】 The results suggest that the lignin derived from plants was a selective accumulation, and lignin degradation was evidently retarded in no-tillage with straw mulching treatments. No-tillage has benefit effect on enhancing the sequestration and stabilization of carbon.
