This study investigated the long-term (31 years) effects of mineral slag fertilizer (fused magnesium phosphate [FMgP] and calcium silicate [CaSi]) application on changes in the main soil chemical properties, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), available phosphorus (P), soil organic carbon (SOC), and total nitrogen (TN) contents in paddy soils. Soil samples were obtained from six fertilizer treatments [(1) Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium chemical fertilizer only (CF); (2) CF + mineral slag fertilizer (CF+); (3) CF + rice straw (RS); (4) CF + rice straw + mineral slag fertilizer (RS+); (5) CF + rice straw compost (CM); and (6) NPK + rice straw compost + mineral slag fertilizer (CM+)] at five depth soils (0–5, 5–10, 10–15, 15–20, and 20–25 cm). An anaerobic incubation experiment was performed at 30°C to determine carbon (C) decomposition and nitrogen (N) mineralization potentials at every 2-week interval (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks). The results indicated that compared to non-mineral slag additions, both EC and available P increased by 36.6–136.6% in mineral slag addition treatments. Still, only compost addition mostly influenced pH values; meanwhile, SOC and TN exhibited an increase (~23.8%) in compost addition treatments but a reduction (~12.7%) in rice straw treatments by applying mineral slag fertilizer. Mineral slag addition reduced the C decomposition potential but enhanced N mineralization potential observed by the first-order reaction kinetic models. Our study suggested that mineral slag fertilizers affected the soil organic matter and its mineralization potentials.
