To investigate the long-term effects of organic manure on soil macro-porosity and nutrient stoichiometry in greenhouse production, we studied physical chemical properties soils under different vegetable systems Jiangsu Province. These included (OGV), open-field (OFV), conventional (CGV), (CFV), with rice–wheat rotation (RWR) used as a reference.The results showed that, compared to systems, production increased macro-porosity, carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN) content, well C:N, C:P, N:P, particularly tilled layer. SOC, TN, phosphorus (TP) levels rapidly during first 14 years OGV cultivation, followed by decline. stoichiometric ratios were significantly positively correlated macro-porosity. The study suggests that converting RWR does not degrade aeration, application impacts retention layer, although are time- depth-dependent. highlights potential improve aeration balance OGV, underscoring importance optimizing fertilizer management intensive agriculture enhance quality crop yield.

Abstract Background Soil fauna is an important driver of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) release from decomposing litter in forest ecosystems. However, its role C N cycling concerning climate traits remains less known. In a 4-year field experiment, we evaluated the effects soil on across elevation gradient (453, 945, 3023, 3582 m) (coniferous vs. broadleaf) southwestern China. Results Our results showed that was retained by –0.4% to 31.5%, but immediately released during early stage (156–516 days) decomposition for most species. significantly increased peak content retention species, reduced C/N ratio certain species (i.e., Juniperus saltuaria , Betula albosinensis Quercus acutissima Pinus massoniana litter), leading more being gradient. Contributions were 3.87–9.90% 1.10–8.71%, respectively, after 4 years decomposition. environment initial quality factors caused directly affected release.

Abstract Nitrogen (N) metabolism is a key metabolic pathway of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. However, the mechanisms by which mixed plantation litter improves microbial N transformation are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated characteristics, metabolism‐related genes, and modules soil three types forests: coniferous (CP forest), broadleaf (BP forests (MCBP forest). Results indicated that total (TN), hydrolysable organic (THON), percentage values NH 4 + ‐N/TN NO 3 − BP MCBP were higher than those CP litter, was attributed to increase abundance fixation genes dissimilatory nitrate reduction genes.
