This study aimed to understand the content changes of different protected soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions in upland red soil that have been affected by long-term fertilization management, and to explore the equilibrium or saturation for SOC pools with varying protection methods. Surface (0~20 cm) samples of upland red soil that were subjected to six different treatments were collected from a longterm fertilization experiment. Treatments included no fertilizer application (CK); chemical nitrogen fertilizer alone (N); conventional usage amount of chemical N, phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers (NPK), double usage amount of chemical NPK fertilizers (HNPK), chemical NPK fertilizers plus organic manure (NPKM), and organic manure alone (M) . The total organic carbon (TOC) of soil was then separated into six different functional pools by the recently developed physical-chemical fractionation method, which included unprotected SOC, physically protected SOC, physical-chemically protected SOC, physical-biochemically protected SOC, chemically protected SOC, and biochemically protected SOC pools. The responses of the contents of SOC fractions with varying protection mechanisms to long-term fertilization were assessed, and the relationships between the contents of different protected SOC fractions and TOC, as well as between storages of different protected SOC pools and accumulated C input were investigated. The results showed that there was no significant (P> 0.05) difference in the contents of all the separated SOC fractions between CK and N treatments. The TOC content, the contents of unprotected SOC and physically protected SOC fractions in NPK, HNPK, M, and NPKM, however, were significantly increased by 13.3%– 48.0%, 39.2%-221.5%, 41.9%-132.3% respectively, compared with CK treatment. The proportions of unprotected SOC and physically protected SOC in TOC were significantly (P<0.05) increased under all the fertilization treatments with an exception of N treatment by 1.9- 10.0 and 2.5-5.5 percentage points respectively as compared with CK treatment. Organic amendment treatments (such as M and NPKM treatments) caused the best increase of the content of TOC and its unprotected and physically protected fractions. The contents of all the SOC fractions have shown linear positive correlations with the TOC content, according to the slope of the fitted equation. With the increase of TOC content per unit, the increase rates of the content for the unprotected coarse particle SOC and physically protected particle SOC were up to 44.3% and 28.0% (P<0.001), respectively. With the exception of biochemically protected SOC, the storages of the other separated SOC pools showed significant (P<0.01) linear correlations with the accumulated C input. Therefore, the increased TOC in upland red soil due to fertilization is preferentially sequestered in the form of unprotected coarse particle and physically protected SOC. Application of chemical fertilizer, through either single or combined application, has less effect on improving TOC sequestration, SOC lability, and its physical protection than organic amendments. The results of this study also indicated that the biochemically protected SOC pool in upland red soil reached an equilibrium status under the current condition of accumulated C input level; however, further work is needed to assess SOC saturation characteristics, which rely on lengthier experiments.
