However, its underlying mechanism remains largely undetermined. In this work, we examined the impacts of the continuous application of pig manure fertiliser for 10 years on wheat yield in the calcaric fluvisol soil with a texture of sandy loam, and the relationship between soil microbial community composition and soil properties was also analysed. The wheat yield, yield components and wheat biomass were analysed by collected aboveground part. Soil nutrient, enzymatic activity and microorganism compositions were analysed by collected soil samples at the filling stage. The results showed that long-term application of pig manure fertiliser could remarkably increase wheat yield by improving soil nutrient availability, enzyme activities, and microbial composition. Moreover, soil pH, nitrogen content, dehydrogenase and urease were closely related to the soil microbial diversity. In conclusions, the long-term application of pig manure in combination with term mineral fertiliser could optimise microbial community composition by regulating the interaction between microbial species and enhancing soil enzyme activity and soil fertility, leading to increased wheat yield.
