4.Scientific discoveries

In recent years, the systematic and innovative research works were conducted on soil microibal diversity and ecological functions, carbon metabolic properties of soil microbial communities, coupling and transformation of carbon and nitrogen/phospherous. Some creative achievements: (1) On both field scale and regional scale, input of soil organic carbon into soils increased stability of soil microbial communities and diversity of microbial funcitions. (2) Labile C led to priming effects mediated by microorganisms in soils and as consequence improved the turnover of soil organic matter and availability of nitrogen and phospherous. (3) Rhizosphere deposition can be considered as mobile primer, if distributed in a lager area in the soils, rhizosphere priming effects can be extended wider and contribute more to nutrient transformation. In addiiton to quantity and quality, the migration and distribution of organic C play important roles in soil nutrient cycling and sustainable development.
