Abstract

Wetland soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration effectively reduces atmospheric CO 2 . Fractionating SOC into labile particulate organic carbon (POC) and stable mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for predicting its stability. Precipitation-induced variations in coarse (>2 mm) and fine (
