摘要： Intercropping-driven changes in nitrogen (N)-acquiring microbial genomes and functional expression regulate soil N availability and plant N uptake. However, present data seem to be limited to a specific community, obscuring the viewpoint of entire N-acquiring microbiomes and functions. Taking maize intercropped with legumes (peanut and soybean) and non-legumes (gingelly and sweet potato) as models, we studied the effects of intercropping on N transformations and N-acquiring microbiomes in rhizosphere soil across four maize growth stages. Meanwhile, we compiled promising strategies such as random forest analysis and structural equation model for the exploitation of the associations between microbe-driven N dynamics and soil-plant N trade-offs and maize productivity. Compared with monoculture, maize intercropping significantly increased the denitrification rate of rhizosphere soils across four maize growth stages, net N mineralization in the elongation and flowering stages, and the nitrification rate in the seedling and mature stages. The abundance of most N-acquiring microbial populations was influenced significantly by intercropping patterns and maize growth stages. Soil available N components (NH4+-N, NO3--N, and dissolved organic N content) showed a highly direct effect on plant N uptake, which mainly mediated by N transformations (denitrification rate) and N-acquiring populations (amoB, nirK3, and hzsB genes). Overall, the adaptation of N-acquiring microbiomes to changing rhizosphere microenvironments caused by intercropping patterns and maize development could promote soil N transformations and dynamics to meet demand of maize for N nutrient. This would offer another unique perspective to manage the benefits of the highly N-effective and production-effective intercropping ecosystems.
