Taking the typical yellow soil in Guizhou as the research object, four treatments were set up: no fertilization (CK), single application of chemical fertilizer (NP), 50% organic fertilizer instead of chemical nitrogen fertilizer [1/2(NPM)], and 100% organic fertilizer instead of chemical nitrogen fertilizer (M). The effects of organic fertilizer instead of chemical nitrogen fertilizer on organic carbon and its active components, soil carbon pool management index, soil enzyme activity, and maize and soybean yield in yellow soil were studied in order to provide theoretical basis for scientific fertilization and soil quality improvement in this area. The results showed that the replacement of chemical nitrogen fertilizer by organic fertilizer significantly increased soil pH, organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN) content, and C/N ratio. Compared with those in the CK and NP treatments, the content and distribution ratio of soil active organic carbon components and soil carbon pool management index (CPMI) were improved by replacing chemical nitrogen fertilizer with organic fertilizer, and the effect of replacing chemical nitrogen fertilizer with 50% organic fertilizer was the best. Compared with those in the NP treatment, the 1/2 (NPM) treatment significantly increased the contents of soil readily oxidizable organic carbon (ROC
