High-quality plant inputs to the soil with low lignin to nitrogen ratios have been conceptualized to foster the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) and carbon (C) in stabilized soil compartments, such as aggregates and organo-mineral associations (MAOM), in dependence of the soil's capacity to store additional C (i.e., C saturation deficit). Yet, evidence for these conceptualizations from field experiments is scarce and it is unclear whether factors commonly not included in laboratory experiments (such as soil depth) may modulate the influence of substrate quality on SOM formation. We, thus, tested the effect of substrates with different qualities (from European alder and Scots pine) on C stocks in bulk soil, free particulate and aggregate-occluded organic matter, and MAOM in soils at various ages after reclamation and at different soil depths in a common-garden field experiment.
