Popis: In order to reveal the effect of vegetation type and soil physicochemical properties on the distribution of soil organic carbon and its components, a field survey was carried out on nine different plant communities along a water table gradient in the Huixian wetland with samples of soil at 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm in depth. The soil organic carbon (SOC), light fraction organic carbon (LFOC), heavy fraction organic carbon (HFOC), easily oxidized organic carbon (EOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) were measured. The correlations among soil organic carbon components and soil physicochemical properties were also examined. The results showed that:① The average proportion of LFOC and HFOC to SOC at 0-30 cm soil depth was 11.10% and 88.90%, respectively. The distribution ratio of the heavy component was much higher than of the light component in soils. ② The content of SOC, DOC, EOC, POC, and MBC (except in the
