Abstract

Core Ideas The optimal N rate was about 100 kg ha −1 yr −1 . Best duration for fertilization is less than 10 yr. The application of NPKM demonstrates the greatest potential for increasing microbial biomass in China's cropland. Soil microbial biomass (SMB) plays an important role in enhancing soil ag...
