Soil Microbial Communities Involved in Proteolysis and Sulfate-Ester Hydrolysis Are More Influenced by Interannual Variability than by Crop Sequence

Résumé

Proteases, catalysing protein hydrolysis, and arylsulfatases, catalysing sulfate-ester hydrolysis, are key microbial enzymes for N and S mineralization in soil. However, knowledge gaps remain regarding the effect of crop successions and seasonal and interannual meteorological variations on microbial communities responsible for those activities. Here, we compared the effect of six cropping sequences on the abundance and activity of microbial communities involved in proteolysis and sulfate-ester hydrolysis in northern France over four years, with two sampling dates per year. Crop sequences impacted soil microbial communities involved in proteolysis but not those involved in sulfate-ester hydrolysis. Oilseed rape following wheat presented a higher abundance of fungal 18S rDNA, culturable bacteria and alkaline metalloprotease genes and higher protease activity than other crop sequences (wheat following oilseed rape or pea, barley following wheat and pea following barley). Net N and S mineralization was not impacted by the cropping sequence. However, interannual variability of microbial parameters was large, and largely overcame the effect of crop sequences. Precipitation variability between years was the likely cause of this effect. In conclusion, the interaction between current crop, previous crops and yearly meteorology can strongly impact the soil microbial communities in agroecosystems.
