This study evaluated the effects of long-term dairy manure and inorganic fertilizer application on soil carbon, soil nitrogen, enzymatic activity, and microbial community structure in a corn-soybean rotation field in South Dakota (U.S.). The results indicate that manure can be a favorable option compared to inorganic fertilizers in terms of enhancing soil health.
