abstract = {Soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) contents are
controlled partly by plant inputs that can be manipulated in
agricultural systems. Although SOC and N pools occur mainly
in the topsoil (upper 0.30 m), there are often substantial
pools in the subsoil that are commonly assumed to be stable.
We tested the hypothesis that contrasting long-term
management systems change the dynamics of SOC and N in the
topsoil and subsoil (to 0.75 m) under temperate conditions.
We used an established field experiment in the UK where
control grassland was changed to arable (59 years before)
and bare fallow (49 years before) systems. Losses of SOC and
N were 65 and $61\%$ under arable and 78 and $74\%$ under
fallow, respectively, in the upper 0.15 m when compared with
the grass land soil, whereas at 0.3–0.6-m depth losses
under arable and fallow were 41 and $22\%$ and 52 and
$35\%,$ respectively. The stable isotopes 13C and 15N showed
the effects of different treatments. Concentrations of
long-chain n-alkanes C27, C29 and C31 were greater in soil
under grass than under arable and fallow. The dynamics of
SOC and N changed in both topsoil and subsoil on a decadal
time-scale because of changes in the balance between inputs
and turnover in perennial and annual systems. Isotopic and
geochemical analyses suggested that fresh inputs and
decomposition processes occur in the subsoil. There is a
need to monitor and predict long-term changes in soil
properties in the whole soil profile if soil is to be
managed sustainably.},
