Table 2. Model parameters and coefficients of determination (R2) estimated using the first-order exponential model fitted to the cumulative C mineralized data from the different treatments.

Treatment C0 (g kg-1) k (d-1) T1/2 (d) C0/SOC (%) R2
CK 1.23 b 0.032 c 21.7 a 4.8 a 0.998 **
NPK 1.26 b 0.048 ab 15.4 c 4.7 a 0.998 **
M 2.10 a 0.047 a 14.8 c 5.1 a 0.996 **
MNPK 2.62 a 0.039 bc 17.8 b 6.9 a 0.998 **

Notes: CK: no fertilization; NPK: chemical fertilizer; M: organic fertilizer; MNPK: constant organic-inorganic fertilizer. C0, amount of potential mineralizable SOC; k, constant of mineralization rate of SOC; T1/2, half turnover period; C0/SOC, ratio of potential mineralizable organic carbon to total organic carbon in soil. Different small letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) within the same column.

**, statistically significant (P < 0.01)
