摘要： Soil nutrient stoichiometric imbalance result in nutrient limitation for microbial metabolism, which subsequently affects the microbial community structure. However, the differences in microbial metabolic limitations and adaptive regulatory strategies of microorganisms in response to mulching practices and varying climatic conditions have not yet been fully clarified. This study evaluates three treatments, straw mulch planting (SM), plastic-film mulch planting (PM), and conventional flat planting (CK) to assess the response of microbial metabolic limitation and community structures to mulching measures across three climate zones: the temperate semi-arid zone (Yuzhong), the mid-temperate semi-arid zone (Dingxi), and the warm temperate semi-humid zone (Changwu) in the Loess Plateau, China. The results indicate that microbial metabolism had strong relative carbon (C) and phosphorus (P) limitations at our study sites. Soil nutrient imbalances caused by mulching measures under different climatic conditions alter the degree of microbial nutrient limitation. Compared with CK, microbial P limitation under the SM treatments was 5.9 % lower, with the largest reduction in Changwu, whereas the PM treatment increased microbial P limitation by 4.1 %, with the largest increase in Yuzhong. The microbial community structures in Yuzhong and Dingxi exhibit greater sensitivity to soil physicochemical properties and microbial metabolic limitations. The bacterial Chao1 index in PM in Yuzhong and Dingxi and the fungal Chao1 index in SM in Yuzhong significantly increased relative to CK. Mulching measures had no significant effect on bacterial and fungal diversity or bacterial abundance in Changwu. Furthermore, redundancy discriminant analysis demonstrated that the variable explanations of soil physicochemical properties, stoichiometry, and microbial resource limitations were higher in Yuzhong and Dingxi than in Changwu. Further, soil water content and vector angle were the main factors driving the separation of soil samples at the microbial order level. All in all, these results enhance our understanding of how mulching measures regulate microbial communities across different climatic regions, particularly in response to varying precipitation patterns. Further research is needed to determine how mulch-induced nutritional limitation changes the ecological functions of microbes in agroecosystems.
