Abstract: Based on the long-term fertilization experiment on rice soil, 8 fertilization treatments were set, including CK (no fertilization), N (application of 375 kg·hm-2 N), NP (application of 375 kg·hm-2 N, 187.5 kg·hm-2 P2O5), NK (application of 375 kg·hm-2 N, 187.5 kg·hm-2 K2O), NPK (application of 375 kg·hm-2 N, 187.5 kg·hm-2 P2O5, 187.5 kg·hm-2 K2O), M (application of 22 500 kg·hm-2 manure), M+NPK (application of 22 500 kg·hm-2 manure, 375 kg·hm-2 N, 187.5 kg·hm-2 P2O5, 187.5 kg·hm-2 K2O), M+1.3NPK (application of 22 500 kg·hm-2 manure, 487.5 kg·hm-2 N, 243.75 kg·hm-2 P2O5, 243.75 kg·hm-2 K2O). The dynamic changes of soil organic matter, soil organic carbon surplus, sequestration and transformation rate of soil organic carbon, the relationship between soil organic matter and crops yields in 12 years were investigated. It was shown that the content of soil organic matter under different fertilization treatments increased gradually in 12 years. The soil organic matter content in the treatments with both organic manure and chemical fertilizers were significantly (P<0.05) increased. The organic matter content of M+NPK and M+1.3NPK was increased by 17.9% and 23.3%, respectively, as compared with CK. Soil organic carbon surplus was positive under all fertilization treatments. There was a strong positive linear relationship between carbon input and carbon surplus, and the minimum annual carbon input was 1 660 kg·hm-2 in the experiment site. The treatments with both organic manure and chemical fertilizers improved the annual carbon sequestration rate, and the treatment of M+1.3NPK showed the highest carbon sequestration rate. There was a positive linear correlation between crops yields and the soil organic matter contents in all treatments. It was concluded that fertilization with both organic manure and chemical fertilizers could increase soil carbon content and sequestration rate, and benefit the crop yield. M+1.3NPK was the best fertilization mode under the experiment conditions.
