The phenomenon of sulfur (S) deficiency in Chinese soil is becoming increasingly severe, especially in the northeastern saline-sodic wasteland (WL). To determine the bioavailability of S in long-term cultivated paddy soil with or without organic amendment addition, the long-term field experiment site was established and incubation experiments were conducted. Compared to WL, soil properties have been continuously improved during the 15-year paddy field (PF) cultivation, ultimately enhancing the content of soil organic carbon (by 242.62 %), total nitrogen (by 126.49 %) and alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen (by 28.07 %). Additionally, soil salinization has been decreasing, and the stock of total sulfur (TS) and available sulfur (AS) in the 0–60 cm soil layer have increased by 32.09 % and 293.52 % respectively. In contrast, organically-amended soil (OA) manifested superior TS and AS levels vs. PF. Additionally, water-soluble sulfur (WSS) was markedly elevated, registering post-annual increments of 227.31 % and 268.36 % in PF and OA, respectively, relative to WL. The key mechanistic impetus for the application of organic amendments was the enhancement of the soil's adsorptive and mineralization capabilities. As observed in our soil culture experiment, the maximum adsorption of sulfate ions and the cumulative mineralization of sulfur in the soil follow the pattern of OA > PF > WL. The Partial Least Squares Path Model (PLSPM) corroborated that both organic amendments and years of cultivation indirectly influenced total inorganic sulfur fractions. This influence is primarily mediated via structural soil enhancements and salinization amelioration, thereby elevating available quantities of sulfur in saline-sodic soil environments. In conclusion, from the perspective of soil sulfur biogeochemical cycling, we have confirmed that reclaiming saline-sodic wasteland for paddy field could be a beneficial and sustainable approach for soil management. These findings of this study can also provide an in-depth understanding of the bioavailability and influencing mechanism of sulfur in long-term saline-sodic paddy fields. |
