Microbial community shifts accompany divergent soil carbon recovery after aquaculture-pond restoration across China's coastal wetlands.

Aquaculture-pond restoration may rebuild coastal soil carbon, but gains in soil organic carbon (SOC) do not necessarily indicate lower lability or uniform microbial responses. We compared aquaculture ponds and adjacent restored wetlands at 10 sites across temperate, subtropical, and tropical China. SOC, microbial bioma...
