摘要: The use of biochar as a soil amendment has substantial potential to enhance soil quality and carbon sequestration. However, the responses to the addition of biochar based on soil microbial residues are not well understood, particularly at the aggregate level. Herein, a two-year field experiment investigated the characteristics of distribution of microbial residues in calcareous fluvo-aquic soil aggregates (SA) in Henan Province, China. Four treatments were established as follows: no fertilizer (CK), chemical fertilizer (NPK), biochar (BC), and biochar combined with chemical fertilizer (NPK + BC). The results showed that the effects of particle size substantially impacted the microbial residues with 2-0.25 mm SA having the largest contents of amino sugars and microbial residual carbon (MRC), followed by >2 mm SA. Compared with the CK, the NPK treatment markedly enhanced the levels of glucosamine (GluN), galactosamine (GalN), muramic acid (MurA), total amino sugar (TAS), and MRC in the 2-0.25 mm SA by 26.69%, 24.0%, 23.62%, 25.11%, and 24.82%, respectively. The NPK + BC treatment significantly increased the contents of GluN, GalN, TAS, and MRC in the bulk soil and 0.25-0.053 mm SA compared with the NPK treatment. Bacterial biomass and the activity of N-acetyl-glucosaminidase in the bulk soil and SA markedly and positively affected the content of carbon in the amino sugars and microbial residues. Overall, the 2-0.25 mm SA were microenvironments with the largest accumulation of soil microbial residues, and the combined application of NPK + BC was more effective at increasing the accumulation of microbial residues in the SA, which provides an ideal fertilization strategy to improve the soil microenvironment and enhance soil quality.
