Popis: Acid and alkaline phosphatase (ACP and ALP), encoded separately by the bacterial phoC and phoD genes, participate in the mineralization of organic phosphorus (P) to inorganic P. However, the influence of chemical fertilization on soil phosphatase activities and associated bacterial communities in acidic soils remains unclear. Here, we conducted a 27 year continuous chemical fertilization experiment consisting of the no-fertilizer control (CK), N and P fertilizer (NP), N and K fertilizer (NK), P and K fertilizer (PK), and N, P and K fertilizer (NPK) treatments, in order to investigate phosphatase activities and phoC- and phoD-harboring bacterial communities. Results demonstrated that ACP and ALP activities increased significantly in the NP (198.70 and 35.46 μg pNP g−1 soil h−1, respectively) and NPK treatments (199.62 and 36.51 μg pNP g−1 soil h−1, respectively) compared to CK (143.81 and 22.49 μg pNP g−1 soil h−1, respectively), while ALP activity was reduced for the NK treatment (13.86 μg pNP g−1 soil h−1). The abundance and diversity index of phoC- and phoD-harboring bacteria differed among treatments. The two bacterial community structures exhibited similar trends in terms of the significant differences between N-free (CK and PK) and N-containing (NP, NK and NPK) treatments (Adonis, p
