Atmospheric N deposition has increased dramatically in China due to rapid industrial, agricultural and urban development, greatly affecting carbon cycling. While C emissions may increase by elevated N deposition, limitation in the accessibility of substrates to decomposers within soil aggregates may dampen soil microbial activity, and thereby physically protect organic carbon from decomposition. In this study, we explore whether physical protection by soil aggregates could stabilize soil organic carbon, thereby dampening C loss rates. To do this, we applied additional nitrogen deposition of 0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 kg N ha−1 year−1 (3 replicate 10 m × 10 m plots of each) to a Schima plantation in southeast China. Several soil parameter...
