However, heterogeneity of microbial metabolic efficiency and community stability in soils with different fertility defined based on the crop yield, as well as the underlying mechanisms still remains elusive. Here, soils with high and low fertility (HF and LF) were incubated with 13C-labeled wheat residue and analyzed periodically for microbial metabolic quotient and functional bacterial populations using DNA-stable isotope probing technique combined with high-throughput sequencing. Results revealed that soil organic matter (SOM) decomposers following wheat residue amendment were suppressed in HF but stimulated in LF, leading to a higher microbial metabolic efficiency and lower priming effect in HF. This difference in SOM decomposers' responses could be due to that microbes in nutrient- limited LF has to mine recalcitrant SOM for nutrient requirement to support the utilization of wheat residue, the ample nutrients in HF, however, render the microbes to directly utilize wheat residue. Both the resistance (disturbance stability) and resilience (temporal stability) of bacterial community were higher in HF than in LF following disturbance of wheat residue addition. Higher abundance and lower composition variation of wheat residue decomposers in HF than in LF might result in the higher stability of microbial community in HF. The results suggest that plant residue amendment to fertile soils is likely more effective for soil carbon accumulation and soil fertility buildup than to infertile soils, due to higher microbial metabolic efficiency and higher microbial community stability.}, journal={APPLIED SOIL ECOLOGY}, author={Liu, Benjuan and Bei, Qicheng and Wang, Xiaojie and Liu, Qi and Hu, Shuijin and Lin, Zhibin and Zhang, Yanhui and Lin, Xingwu and Jin, Haiyang and Hu, Tianlong and et al.}, year={2021}, month={Mar} }
