Short summary
Carbon stabilization should not confound soil microbial activity, which drives biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem services. Across a rice soil chronosequence from tidal marsh, organic carbon concentrated both in coarse-sand- and clay-sized aggregates and enhancement of labile carbon supports high-microbial activity in macroaggregates. Thus, carbon physically protected in macroaggregates promotes bioactivity in rice soils, coevolved with prolonged rice paddy management over centuries.
