Soil Microbiome in Response to Organic Substitution in an Intensive Greenhouse Production System

Partial substitution of mineral N fertilizer with manure (organic substitution) is considered as an effective way to reduce N input in intensive agricultural systems. Here, based on a 3-year field experiment, we assessed the influence of different organic substitution ratios (15%, 30%, 45% and 60%, composted chicken manure applied) on soil microbiome (based on metagenomic sequencing) in an intensive greenhouse production system located at Xinxiang district, Henan province, northern China.
