Abstract
⺠We examined biochemical composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) with C saturation. ⺠We measured plant biomarkers in soil C pools separated by protective mechanism. ⺠Lignin in SOC is depleted with increasing C saturation when not protected. ⺠SOC composition in the mineral fraction does not change with C saturation level. ⺠SOC biochemical composition does not affect long-term C stabilization and saturation.
