While fertilization modulates microbial activity to improve soil fertility, the differential effects of manure and chemical fertilization on amino compound molecular profiles (key C/N carriers) and microbial necromass structure (a major soil organic matter component) remain unclear in intensive double-cropping systems.

Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of winter drought and chemical fertilization on soil N availability. Studies should investigate the impacts of winter drought and chemical fertilization on other crop rotation systems. Research should examine the effects of winter drought and chemical fertilization on soil microorganisms and their role in soil N transformations.
