摘要： Ensuring the stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for effective long-term carbon storage in forest ecosystems. While nanoparticles (NPs) have shown the potential to enhance SOC stability and reduce cumulative carbon mineralization rates (CCMR) in agricultural soils, their effects on forest soils remain largely unexplored. This study addresses this gap through an incubation experiment that evaluated the impact of silicon nitride nanoparticles (Si3N4-NPs) at varying concentrations [control, 0 mg kg−1 (NP0); 50 mg kg−1 (NP1); 100 mg kg−1 (NP2)] on SOC stability, CCMR, enzymatic activities, and microbial diversity across three forest ecosystems in the Dinghushan region of Guangdong, China: coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MCBF), and monsoon evergreen broadleaf forest (MEF). The results revealed that Si3N4-NP application at the NP2 concentration significantly reduced CCMR by 40.82 % compared to the control (NP0). Moreover, NP2 substantially decreased the activities of key soil enzymes: β-glucosidase by 13.81 %, N-acetylglucosaminidase by 32.62 %, cellobiohydrolase by 59.12 %, and phenol oxidase by 26.40 %, relative to NP0. The NP2 treatment also enhanced total SOC retention by 24.62 % compared to NP0. Within SOC fractions, NP2 significantly impacted the less labile (C3) and non-labile (C4) fractions, which increased by 46.83 % and 57.84 %, respectively, compared to NP0. Meanwhile, the very labile C (C1) and labile C (C2) fractions showed non-significant changes. Furthermore, the Si3N4-NP applications induced distinct shifts in bacterial (Actinobacteriota) and fungal (Ascomycota) microbiomes, which correlated significantly with CCMR and total SOC. These findings indicate that Si3N4-NPs improve SOC stability and reduce mineralization in forest soils. However, field-scale validation is essential to assess the long-term impacts of Si3N4-NPs on microbial communities and overall ecosystem functioning. This study highlights the significance of NP concentration and forest type in developing effective strategies for SOC management to mitigate climate change.
