Abstract
⺠N amendment and ley stage influenced sward species composition. ⺠Soil alkane and alcohol signatures reflected changes in the sward composition. ⺠Importance of large macroaggregates increased with increasing age of the grass ley. ⺠Intra-aggregate SOM turnover increased with N amendments in the older ley. ⺠N amendments increased intra-aggregate OM dynamics especially in the smaller WSA size classes.
