Future research should focus on long-term monitoring to assess whether higher plant species richness enhances soil multifunctionality, microbial diversity and SOC persistence over time.

The current study is based on a single cropping cycle and does not account for long-term effects such as metal accumulation in soil, changes in soil health, or impacts of repeated cultivation. Future studies should address long-term environmental sustainability and multi-cycle cropping systems.
