How do various strategies for returning residues change microbiota modulation: potential implications for soil health by Nan Jiang, Nan Jiang, Zhenhua Chen, Zhenhua Chen, Yi Ren, Shichang Xie, Zimeng Yao, Zimeng Yao, Dongqi Jiang, Yulan Zhang, Yulan Zhang, Lijun Chen, Lijun Chen

“…However, the effects of various returning strategies on the soil microbiota, which play an essential vital role in maintaining soil health, remains largely unexplored.MethodsIn a study conducted, different residue management strategies were implemented, involving the application of chemical fertilizers and residues that had undergone chopping (SD), composting (SC), and pyrolysis (BC) processes, with conventional fertilization serving as the control (CK).Results and discussionUsing metagenomic sequencing, the analysis revealed that while all residue returning strategies had minimal effects on the diversity (both α and β) of microbiota, they did significantly alter microbial functional genes related to carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) cycling, as well as the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. …”
