Mineral fertilization did not affect decay of old lignin and SOC in a <sup>13</sup>C-labeled arable soil over 36 years
Retardation of soil organic carbon (SOC) decay after nitrogen addition to litter or soil has been suggested in several recent studies and has been attributed to a retardation in lignin decay. With our study we tested the long-term effect of mineral fertilization (N+P) on the decay of the SOC compone...
