Abstract: 【Objective】 The effects of no-tillage on soil organic carbon components and distribution of soil organic carbon from stalk mulching at different soil depths and the mid-infrared spectral characteristics of different stalk mulching conservation tillage at different soil depths were studied. 【Method】 Soils were sampled from different soil depths in a long-term experiment of conservation tillage carried out in Lishu, Jilin province. Four treatments were set as no-stalk mulching, 33% stalk mulching, 67% stalk mulching and 100% stalk mulching. Soil mid-infrared spectra were examined using Nicolet 6700 spectrometer with 64 scans and 4 cm-1 resolution. 【Result】 The mid-infrared absorbance decreased with the increasing soil depth in all treatments. The results of spectra subtraction, i.e. the soil (neat) spectra minus the ashed soil spectra showed that the top soil (0-5 cm) had greater absorbance at the aromatic, aliphatic and alkyl bands than deeper soil (5-20 cm). 【Conclusion】 Stalk mulching could promote soil organic carbon accumulation at 0-5 cm depths and increase significantly aromatic, aliphatic and alkyl organic carbon from straw mulching. The mid-infrared spectral characteristics provide a new tool for soil organic carbon components research.
