Soil microbial communities play a key role in the biochemical processes and nutrient cycles of the soil ecosystem and their byproducts, including greenhouse gases (GHGs). Organic fertilization influences bacterial soil biodiversity and is an essential emission source of GHGs in paddy soil ecosystems. However, the impact of organic fertilization on the functional microorganisms associated with the GHGs methane and nitrous oxide remains unknown. We conducted paddy soil field experiments under three different treatments (no fertilization, base fertilization, and organic fertilization) to investigate the contribution of organic fertilization to soil nutrients and the functional microorganisms associated with GHG emissions. We found that organic fertilization effectively increased the soil organic matter (P < 0.001), soil organic carbon (P < 0.001), and total nitrogen (P < 0.05) as well as the richness (operational taxonomic units and abundance-based coverage estimators) of the methanogenic communities. Correlation analyses showed that methanogenic communities that were present in abundance were more vulnerable to perturbations in soil properties compared to nitrifying bacterial communities. Partial least squares path model analyses elucidated that organic fertilization directly affected both methanogenic communities and nitrifying bacterial communities (P < 0.05), thereby accelerating methane emissions. Strong co-occurrence networks were observed within the soil-dominant phyla Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria. Our findings highlight the impact of organic fertilization on soil nutrients and functional microorganisms and guide mitigating GHG emissions from paddy soil agroecosystems.
