Straw mulch improves soil carbon and nitrogen cycle by mediating microbial community structure and function in the maize field

This study was conducted to investigate the capability of the microbial community characteristics and soil variables to promote carbon and nitrogen cycles in maize fields under straw mulch. We covered the surface soil of the maize field with different amounts of wheat straw (0 kg/ha, 2,250 kg/ha, an...
