Integrated Soil–Crop System Management Promotes Microbial Necromass and Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Black Soil Through Microbial Transformation and Aggregate Protection

Long-term intensive cultivation has degraded soil structure and reduced soil organic carbon (SOC) retention in the black soils of Northeast China. However, the processes underlying SOC accumulation under integrated soil–crop system management (ISSM) remain poorly understood. An 1...

Long-Term Organic Fertilization Drives Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation in Black Soil Through Microbial Necromass Carbon and CAZyme-Mediated Carbon Turnover

Long-term organic inputs increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in black soil; however, it remains uncertain if straw and manure enhance SOC via separate microbial necromass carbon (MNC) routes. Therefore, a 12-year field experiment was conducted to explore this mechanism. Treatments...
