Abstract
⺠We evaluate NaOH-extractable subsoil-C in broadleaved forests by pyrolysis-GC/MS. ⺠All sites show a significant shift in composition from topsoil-C to subsoil-C. ⺠Subsoil-C shows high relative amounts of aliphatics or polysaccharides. ⺠Lignins or aromatics are not major contributors to NaOH-extractable subsoil-C. ⺠Plant-derived labile long-chain aliphatics and anhydrosugars are present in subsoil-C.
