The comprehensive effects of different fertilization treatments on soil fertility, enzyme activity and microbial community structure in rubber plantations were systematically investigated to provide a theoretical basis for sustainable nutrient management of rubber plantation soils. Using the rubber clone Reyan 7-33-97 as the research subject, five treatments were set, no fertilization (CK), conventional chemical fertilizer (CF), organic-inorganic compound fertilizer (OF), and two slow-release fertilizers with different release ratios (SF 25% and SF 50%). Soil chemical properties, enzyme activity and microbial community structure were measured to systematically explore the relationships among the factors. Compared with CF, OF treatment significantly increased soil organic matter (35.40%), available phosphorus (40.00%), pH (10.86%) and urease activity (54.84%). SF 25% significantly increased available phosphorus (43.00%) and catalase activity (19.23%). The available phosphorus content in SF 50% treatment showed no significant difference from CF, but was significantly lower than that in OF and SF 25% treatments. Microbial community analysis revealed that there were no significant differences in bacterial and fungal α-diversity across the treatments, but β-diversity analysis showed that fertilization treatments had a significant effect on the fungal community structure. Furthermore, both OF and SF 25% treatments significantly increased the relative abundance of Acidobacteria (93.47%, 64.58%), Chujaibacter (351.56%, 222.53%) and Ascomycota (38.43%, 11.13%) while decreasing the relative abundance of Rozellomycota. The SF 50% treatment significantly decreased the relative abundance of Glomeromycota (53.70%). In conclusion, organic-inorganic compound fertilizer (OF) and slow-release fertilizer (SF 25%) were more effective in improving soil fertility, enzyme activity and microbial community structure, and can be recommended as fertilization strategies for soil health management in rubber plantations.
