Reclamation of coastal marshes to croplands lost massive reserves of soil organic matter (SOM). However, it is uncertain how reclamation shifts chemical composition of SOM and its size fractions. Here, we investigated this issue at two coastal marshes (Qilihai, degradation with seasonal waterlog; Beidagang, annual long-term waterlog) along with adjacent long-term reclaimed croplands on the coast of the Bohai Bay, China. Three SOM fractions: coarse particulate (cPOM, >250 μm), fine particulate (fPOM, 53–250 μm), and mineral-associated organic matter (<53 μm) were analyzed by pyrolysis-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Compared with the Qilihai marsh, the Beidagang marsh had higher SOM contents and lower proportions of microbial-derived N-containing compounds, which was attributed to the waterlogging-induced weaker decomposition. Reclamation decreased the SOM contents (−53.6% to −63.3%) and proportions of lignin in cPOM (−44% to −52%) at both sites. However, reclamation-induced shifts of molecular composition of SOM between the two sites diverged. At the Qilihai site, reclamation decreased the relative abundances of N-containing compounds (−28%) but increased the proportions of lipids (+17%) and phenolics (+40.7%) in mineral-associated organic matter. At the Beidagang site, reclamation decreased the proportions of monocyclic aromatics (−60.3% to −70.2%), but increased the relative abundances of N-containing compounds (+175% to +407%) in all fractions. By contrast, the molecular composition of SOM at the two croplands had covergent pattern. In conclusion, despite of marsh locations with different waterlogging conditions, long-term reclamation of wetlands to croplands generated convergent patterns in storage and molecular composition of SOM, which was attributed to the similar cropland cultivation.
