Abstract:
      To explore the effects of deep tillage and straw returning on soil microbial community functional diversity in soil, we examined changes in functional diversity of soil microbial communities using Biolog-Eco microplate method at 0~15 cm and 15~35 cm soil layers. Four treatments including conventional tillage (CT), straw incorporation with conventional tillage (SCT), subsoil tillage (ST) and straw incorporation with subsoil tillage (SST) were set up. The results showed that the utilization of carbon sources by soil microorganisms more significantly improved in the SCT and SST treatments than the CT treatment in both 0~15 cm and 15~35 cm soil layers, and the utilization degree of carbon sources increased with the extension of time under different treatments. Carbohydrates, amino acids, polymers, carboxylic were the most important carbon sources for microbial metabolism. Shannon index and Simpson index were not significantly affected by different treatments, but Mclntosh index was significantly increased in ST than CT in 0~15 cm soil layer. Principal component analysis showed that the metabolic function of microbial community was different between straw returning and no straw returning. Compared with CT, DOC, MBC and MBN contents under SST treatment in 15~35 cm soil layer were significantly increased by 17.25%, 50.00% and 168.10%, respectively. In addition, SEM model showed that deep tillage treatment affected soil Mclntosh index possibly through the change of soil DOC content. Principal component analysis showed that the metabolic function of microbial community was different between straw returning and no straw returning.
