The tillage experiment was established in Dehui County, Jilin Province, China, in 2001. The total SOC and aggregate-associated SOC under 5-yr tillage treatments were measured. NT practices did not lead to the increase of average SOC content at 0-30 cm depth, but it did significantly increase SOC at the top soil (0-5 cm). In NT plots, the change of SOC in 〉 1 000 μm aggregate was the same with that of total SOC, but the effect of NT on SOC in 〉 1 000 lain aggregate was greater than the effect on total SOC, suggesting that 〉 1 000 μm aggregate had more sensitive response to the impact of tillage practices. Also, significant positive correlation occurred between total SOC and SOC in 〉 1 000 μm aggregate in black soil. Consequently, in the short term soil macroaggregate 〉 1 000 μm could be used as an indicator to evaluate the impacts of tillage practices on soil structure in black soil of Northeast China.展开更多
