Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsInteresting work, but there are some questions.
The timing of the use of such experience options is not specified.
How many years have passed since the beginning of sowing monoculture and crop rotation?
Why don't soil names reflect alkalinity? It would be good to name the soils according to WRB.
Why is the soil sampling depth 0-15 and 15-30 cm%? At what depth is plowing done?
What is the productivity of plants in different experimental variants? Phytomass and the amount of plant residues can greatly influence soil microorganisms.
