- Subproject 1 – Microbial C transformation
- Effect of crop rotation and rice straw mulching on microbial communities involved in carbon conversion processes
- Subproject 2 – Microbial N transformation
- Impact of altered flooding and crop rotation regimes on microbial communities and activities involved in nitrogen fixation and nitrogen cycling
- Subproject 3 – Soil fauna and function
- Influence of soil animals on C and N turnover in rice-based cropping systems
