Abstract Alpine wetlands can function as carbon sinks because of their high soil organic content and low decomposition rates. However, the effects of alpine wetland succession on soil structure and soil organic carbon (SOC) stability have rarely been reported. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of vegetation succession on soil aggregate distribution, bulk soil carbon, aggregate-associated C, and intra-aggregate C fraction in the Bayinbuluk alpine wetland. Research sites were selected in adjacent swamp (S), swampy meadow (SM), and meadow (M) locations. Five soil aggregate fractions (>5000, 2000–5000, 250–2000, 53–250 and
