Land application of farmyard manure (FYM) is a widespread agronomic practice used to enhance soil fertility, but its long-term effects on soil microbial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling have not been investigated in detail. Topsoils (0-23 cm) and subsoils (23-38 cm) were collected from a field trial on a sandy-textured soil where FYM had been applied at high (50-25 t ha(-1) yr(-1), 28 yr) and low rates (10 t ha(-1) yr(-1), 16 yr), and compared to soil treated only with synthetic NPK fertilisers. The turnover rate of key components of soil organic matter (SOM; proteins, peptides, amino acids, cellulose, and glucose) were evaluated by C-14 labelling and measuring cellobiohydrolase, beta-glucosidase, beta-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase, L-leucine aminopeptidase, protease, and deaminase activities, whereas gross NH4+ and NO3- production and consumption were determined by N-15-isotope pool dilution. Microbial communities were determined using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiling. Our results indicate that long-term FYM addition significantly enhanced the accumulation of soil C and N, soil organic N (SON) turnover, exoenzyme activity, and gross NO3 production and assimilation. Rates of protein, peptide, and amino acid processing rate were 169-248, 87-147, and 85-305 mg N kg(DWsoil)(-1) d(-1), respectively, gross NH4+ and NO3- production and consumption were 1.8-5.8 mg N kg(DWsoil)(-1) d(-1), and the highest rates were shown under the high FYM treatment in topsoil and subsoil. The half-life of cellulose and glucose decomposition under the high FYM treatment were 16.4% and 31.0% lower than them in the synthetic NPK fertiliser treatment, respectively, indicating higher rates of C cycling under high manure application as also evidenced by the higher rate of CO2 production. This was ascribed to an increase in microbial biomass rather than a change in microbial community structure. Based on the high pool sizes and high turnover rate, this suggests that peptides may represent one of the dominant forms of N taken up by soil microorganisms. We conclude that long-term FYM application builds SOM reserves and induces faster rates of nutrient cycling by boosting microbial biomass rather than by changing its community composition.
