Chicken manure, as an organic solid waste with a high nitrogen content, generates large amounts of ammonia during composting, which leads to pollution of the surrounding environment, and causes a reduction in the quality of the compost product. Nitrogen is transformed through the nitrogen cycle and bacterial communities are the main contributors to the transformation of the nitrogen cycle. The microbial composition changes dramatically at different stages during composting. Therefore, calcium superphosphate (SSP) was added to compost as a nitrogen-fixing agent to elucidate the strategy and function of the bacterial community involved in the nitrogen cycle. The results showed that the addition of SSP at the initial, high temperature and cooling stages increased the inorganic nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N, NO₃⁻-N) content by 51.99 %, 202.72 % and 173.37 % compared to CK, respectively. In addition, nitrogen cycle functional genes (gdh, nifH, pmoA-amoA, hao, nxrA, nirK, napA, nosZ, narG) abundance were determined by real-time qPCR. The nitrogen cycle genetic results showed that SSP addition at high temperature phase resulted in a 62.43 % down-regulation of ammonification genes, while nitrogen fixation and nitrification genes were enhanced. Random forests revealed a shift in the participation strategy of bacterial communities (e.g., Mycobacterium, Izemoplasmatales, Paracoccus, Ruminococcus) within the nitrogen cycle, leading to altered importance rankings despite involvement in different nitrogen cycle pathways. Moreover, Regression analysis and structural equation modelling revealed that SSP addition at high temperature stage stimulated the bacterial community engaged in nitrogen fixation and nitrification, resulting in increased nitrogen accumulation as NO₃⁻-N during composting. This paper offers the potential to yield novel scientific insights into the impact of microbially mediated nitrogen transformation processes and reduce gaseous pollution.
