Abstract: In view of the problems of excessive fertilization and low nitrogen utilization rate in the soil of solar greenhouse, which hindering the sustainable utilization of the soil, as well as the low temperature of soil and low CO2 in winter production, which limiting crop yield and quality. The mixture of corn straw and different organic compounds was used as bioreactor material to study the heat, CO2 emission and nitrogen mineralization rate during fermentation. The experimental results showed that the contents of NO3--N and NH4+-N in R (residual livestock organic matter+corn straw) and S (sheep manure+corn straw) were significantly high than those in CK (soil+corn straw, control), and with the extension of fermentation time, the contents of NO3--N showed an increasing trend, while the contents of NH4+-N revealed a decreasing trend. Within 15 d of fermentation, the content of NO3--N in D (cow+manure+corn straw) was significantly higher than that in CK, while the content of NH4+-N was significantly higher than that of CK during 15-20 d of fermentation. The content of NO3--N in C (chicken manure+corn straw) was significantly lower than that of CK in the late fermentation period (20 d), and the content of NH4+-N had no significant change compared with CK in the whole fermentation period. The total nitrogen mineralization rate was R > S > D > CK > C. The addition of different types of organic fertilizers in corn straw made the accumulated temperature and the amount of CO2 emissions were significantly higher than CK after fermentation. Therefore, residual livestock organic matter+corn straw was regarded as the best combination of organic matter. By changing the ratio of organic matter in the reactor and adding organic matter with high nitrogen content to increase the nitrogen source concentration of the fermentation system, the process of nitrogen mineralization in the reactants could be accelerated, the temperature accumulation and the cumulative CO2 emissions could be increased, which was of great significance for the production of solar greenhouse in winter.
