Microbiome and transcriptome analyses reveal the influence of calcined dolomite application on Eriocheir sinensis in a rice-crab co-culture system.

ABSTRACT: Co-culture systems of rice and aquatic animals can contribute to the ecological intensification of agriculture by reducing nutrient loss and the need for N fertilizer application and by enhancing nutrient-use efficiency. However, the input of high-protein diets into paddy fields, to facilitate the growth of aquatic animals, has been found to increase N pollution and acidification of the soil. Although soil amendments have been widely used to ameliorate acidic soils, reduce N₂O emissions, and improve agronomic production, the relationship between soil amendments and aquatic animal remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of calcined dolomite (hereafter referred to as dolomite) as an acidic soil amendment and Ca-Mg supplement in rice-crab co-culture using Er
