Abstract: The effect of CO2 enrichment on soil microbial biomass in 0~5 cm and 5~10 cm soil layers under rice -wheat rotation was studied under the conditions of routine cultivation,irrigation and fertilization.The results showed that FACE treatment could significantly increase the amount of soil bacteria in 0~5 cm and 5~10 cm soil layers during rice jointing stage and wheat wintering and ripening stages.Elevated CO2 only significantly increased the amount of soil fungi in 0~5 cm soil layer during rice ripening stage.During the whole period of rotation,the amount of soil bacteria was greater than that of soil fungi.

Key words: FACE, Rice-wheat rotation, Soil microbial biomass
