| description | The impact of straw and biochar on carbon mineralization and the function of carbon cycle genes in paddy soil is important for soil nutrient management and the transformation of carbon pools. This research is based on a five-year field experiment with four treatments: no fertilizer application (CK); chemical fertilizer only (NPK); straw combined with chemical fertilizer (NPKS); and biochar combined with chemical fertilizer (NPKB). By integrating indoor mineralization culture with metagenomic approaches, we analyzed the response of organic carbon mineralization and carbon cycle genes in typical paddy soil from Guizhou Province, China, to different fertilization treatments. The result shows that the various fertilization treatments significantly increased the levels of soil organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon, and readily oxidizable organic carbon. The NPKS treatment increased the rate of soil organic carbon mineralization, whereas the NPKB treatment decreased it. Overall, the NPK and NPKB treatments increased the relative abundance of carbon fixation genes. The NPKS treatment increased the relative abundance of carbon degradation genes. The NPKS treatment increased the abundance of Proteobacteria, whereas the NPKB treatment decreased the abundance of Actinobacteria. Biochar after straw pyrolysis can reduce carbon loss and enhance sequestration of soil carbon, whereas straw decreases soil organic carbon stability, accelerating the transformation of soil carbon pools. Future research should encompass long-term impact assessments to comprehensively understand the enduring effects of these fertilization treatments on soil carbon mineralization and the function of carbon cycle genes. |
