“…This is attributed to the fact that the volume of the polymer increases after swelling, and the gap among the soil particles increases. It may be beneficial for the maintenance of the activity of soil microbes [54,55]. In addition, the saturated moisture of the samples increases as the content of polymer increases.…”

“…In addition, SAP could be a favorable nutrition sources for soil microorganism. It might enhance the activity and biodiversity of microbes to some extent 20,21 . But for MBC-SAP treatment, the growth of cabbage was inhibited during the incubation, especially for S 3 .…”

“…For example, soils with swelling MHMS can retain large amounts of water [9]. Besides, the greenhouse experimental results of Chinese cabbage confirmed that the use of MHMS would increase microbial biomass C, water content and organic matters in soils, which are conducive for Chinese cabbage growth [10]. Another research reported a significant effect on total dry matter and crop growth rate of soybean with the MHMS under drought stress condition [11].…”
