Abstract | Land use change is one of the greatest threats to soil biodiversity and ecological functions; however, how such a transition affects soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics driven by fungal communities at the aggregate level remains unclear. Here, we explored the variation in soil C and N pools, specific enzyme activities and fungal communities and functional guilds within three aggregate sizes (megaaggregates, > 2 mm; macroaggregates, 0.25-2 mm; microaggregates, < 0.25 mm) in a natural forest, 12-and 24-year-old rubber monocultures and corresponding agroforestry systems in tropical China. Tropical forest conversion to rubber monocultures generally reduced C and N pools in all aggregates, while agroforestry systems decreased microbial biomass C and N. Carbon-and N-degrading enzyme activities responded differently to forest conversion and were enhanced in agroforestry systems. The levels of C and N pools and their related enzyme activities increased as the aggregate size decreased. Moreover, fungal compositional shifts in dominance from copiotrophic Ascomycota and Basidiomycota (r-strategists) into oligotrophic Zygomycota (K-strategists) were noted following forest conversion, resulting in more pathogenic fungi at the expense of saprotrophic and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Pathogenic fungi were greatly inhibited due to abundant Mortierella after the establishment of 12-year-old agroforestry systems. The diversity of saprotrophic fungi was the highest in microaggregates. Regardless of land use type, aggregate-associated C and N pools, especially DOC, MBC, NO3?-N and DON in microaggregates, were interactively mediated by functional guilds of fungi, which was primarily driven by soil pH. These results highlight the importance of fungal functional guilds in determining C and N dynamics at the aggregate level and provide insights into the sustainable management of cash tree plantations. |
