Short summary
Reactive minerals are ubiquitous in soil and are proposed as a primary driver for carbon (C) retention. However, regulation of soil reactive minerals and direct evidence in sequestrating C by them are scarce. Here we show that, compared with chemical fertilization, inorganic and organic fertilization enhanced the C-binding loadings of Al and Fe minerals in soil colloids, suggesting that reactive mineral species and their associations with C are differentially affected by fertilization practices.
