In order to study organic carbon protected in aggregates of soil developed from calcite dolomite under forest in karst area, soil samples were collected and wet sieved into five aggregate fractions: >5mm, 5~2mm, 2~1mm, 1~0.5mm, 0.5~0.25mm. After extracted carbohydrate, each fraction aggregate was wet-sieved into 5 fractions again. The contents of soil aggregate, oxidisable soil organic carbon, and soil organic carbon were measured, and the relationship between soil aggregate stability with soil organic carbon and soil oxidisable organic carbon was analyzed. The results showed that aggregates broke down from the large size(>5mm, 5~2mm) to small (2~1mm, 1~0.5mm, 0.5~0.25mm) but soil organic carbon was contained mostly in larger aggregate after the second wet sieving, however, soil organic carbon did not transfer while aggregate was broken. Soil oxidisable organic carbon content decreased in all fractions after the final seiving, but most oxidisable organic carbon was contained in the larger particle (>5mm, 5~2mm), and less in smaller (2~1mm, 1~0.5mm, 0.5~0.25mm). According to the results, it was assumed that soil oxidisable organic carbon was protected by the larger aggregate (>2mm).
