Soil amendment incorporation increases organic carbon by improving soil agglomerate and soil microbial biomass carbon in the alpine grassland

Soil  amendments can significantly enhance soil quality and ryegrass growth in  alpine grasslands. This study compared the effects of cattle manure, straw,  and mushroom substrate on soil properties and ryegrass performance over two  years. Mushroom substrate increased biomass and root length, while all  amendments improved soil organic carbon and microbial biomass, with manure  and straw enhancing soil aggregation.
