Enhancing soil ecosystem services through sustainable integrated nutrient management in double rice-cropping system of North-East India

The wetland cultivation of rice is subjected to anaerobic and aerobic soil conditions causing substantial changes in the soil system. However, how long-term supplementation of organics with reduced chemical fertilizers affects microbial composition, their activities, and enzymatic activities in acid...
