Changes in soil microbial community composition and organic carbon fractions in an integrated rice–crayfish farming system in subtropical China

Abstract Integrated rice–crayfish farming system is a highly efficient artificial ecosystem in which the rice (Oryza sativa) variety ‘Jianzhen 2′ is cultivated in waterlogged paddy fields along with crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). We investigated soil carbon fractions and microbial community structu...
