The allocation dynamics of soil carbon pools during soil development and land use are the key to revealing the carbon cycle process. To clarify the distribution of the soil carbon pool and its change trend, a soil reclamation chronosequence (0 a, 60 a, 160 a, 280 a, 1 000 a, and 1 500 a reclamation) was established in a typical alluvial plain in the Lower Yangtze River, and the content and density of soil organic carbon (SOC), soil inorganic carbon (SIC), particulate organic carbon (POC), and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC), along with carbon sequestration potential (CSP) indicators of topsoil under different land use types were measured and analyzed. The results showed that after approximately 1 500 a reclamation, the SOC content developed from the Yangtze River alluvial deposits generally increased by 4.

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of the menin gene. The localization of the menin protein was detected by immunofluorescence microscopy.
