Abstract
The expansion of saline-alkali paddy fields, coupled with the application of large amounts of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, has given rise to a host of environmental concerns. While N and carbon (C) are vital indicators for assessing soil fertility, their dynamic characteristics in saline-alkali paddy soil remain obscure. To address this knowledge gap, we established paddy mesocosms with five distinct N-fertilizer treatments: control without N-fertilizer (CK), urea (U), urea with inhibitors (UI), organic–inorganic compound fertilizer (OCF) and C-based slow-release fertilizer (CSF). The objective was to monitor the dynamic changes of various N and soil organic-C (SOC) during a 137-day rice growing season, and to clarify the microbiological characteristics. By the end of the rice growing season, soil ammonia-N (NH4+-N) concentrations were UI > OCF > CSF > U > CK, and UI had a significant difference (p
