In order to reveal the characteristics of response of soil carbon and nitrogen fractions to Caragana korshinskii Kom in grasslands in the study area, relative density fraction method was used to study the distribution of soil carbon and nitrogen fractions in the 0-40 cm soil layer in grasslands and adjacent Caragana stands with different growth years in wind-water erosion crisscross region. The results showed that soil heavy fraction organic carbon and total nitrogen varied relatively little after conversion of grasslands to Caragana stands (-0.19~0.06 g/kg and -0.001~0.017 g/kg), contrarily, light fraction organic carbon and total nitrogen changed significantly after the conversion,and performed differences with different growth years and soil layers. The soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks in the 0-40 cm soil increased by 10.94 Mg C/hm2 and 0.07 Mg N/hm2 in 25-year Caragana, respectively, and light fraction organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks increased by 2.41 Mg C/hm2 and 0.11 Mg N/hm2, respectively;the light fraction organic carbon stock in the 0-40 cm soil decreased by 4.54 Mg C/hm2, and the heavy fraction organic carbon and total organic carbon stocks increased by 6.26 Mg C/hm2 and 1.72 Mg C/hm2 in 40-year Caragana, respectively; however,the soil total nitrogen, light fraction and heavy fraction total nitrogen stocks decreased by 0.73 Mg·N/hm2,0.44 Mg·N/hm2 and 0.29 Mg·N/hm2, respectively. These findings indicated that changes of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen after conversion of grasslands to Caragana stands were attributed to changes of soil heavy fraction organic carbon and light fraction total nitrogen.
