Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of this paper is to reveal the effects of 24-year continuous maize cropping on Mollisol organic matter structure in all classes aggregates and density fractionations through studying infrared spectra characteristics of Mollisol organic matter before and after setting experiments, which can supplement soil organic matter (SOM) chemical structure dynamic theory under long-term continuous cropping.【Method】 Soil samples were obtained under 24-year continuous maize cropping in Hailun Agro-ecology Field Research Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences. SOM were divided according to aggregate class and density, and measured carbon content and infrared spectra of SOM in all aggregates and density fractions by Element Analyzer and Fourier Infrared Spectrometer separately. The spectra of SOM before and after continuous maize cropping were compared and analyzed.【Result】 After 24-year continuous cropping, carbon content in bulk soil decreased by 5.3%, carbon content in 2-0.25 mm aggregates significantly decreased, the carbon content had the decreasing trend in other class aggregates; free light fractionation (LF) carbon content significantly increased by 32.74%, but in occluded light fractionation (OF) significantly decreased by 16.72%, while no significant change in mineral-associated fractionation (MF). The relative intensity of aliphatic -CH, polysaccharide C-O, phenolic alcohol -OH increased, while the relative intensity of aromatic C=C and carboxyl C=O decreased, the ratio of -CH/C=C increased. The ratio of -CH/C=C mainly increased in >2 mm, of which -CH/C=C value of three density fractionations increased, especially LF; while in the density fractionations of other class aggregates had increasing trend. 【Conclusion】 So Mollisol organic matter structure became aliphatic and simple under long-term continuous maize cropping, the protection abilities of aggregates and mineral association decreased under long-term continuous maize cropping, which can’t benefit for the stability and storage of organic matter.
