•Dryness stress significantly affected the carbon pool and carbon lability of riparian soil.•The lake riparian zone reduced the C and N limitation of soil microbial metabolism.•The flooding regime had strong negative effects on enzyme stoichiometry.•Soil water content was the crucial predictor of soil active organic carbon. As transitional zone between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, the soil properties of riparian zones are deeply influenced by the eco-hydrological conditions of lakes. However, with the increasing frequent drought events caused by climate change, the response of riparian soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics to the eco-hydrological process of lakes under dryness stress is unclear. In this study, we utilized the field research, indoor experiments, ecoenzymatic stoichiometry model and data analysis to identify whether riparian SOM and enzyme activity were affected by dryness stress and determine the feedback relationship between soil biochemical properties and lake eco-hydrological processes. The results showed that lake dryness stress reduced the non-vegetated riparian soil quality (the mean Carbon Pool Management Index decreased by 18 % and 6 % for water–land interface (WL) and bare land (BL), respectively), and the humification degree and molecular weight of the riparian soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) (with E2/E3 and E3/E4 value of WL 6.1 and 1.9 times higher than main lake sediment), which was not conducive to soil carbon storage. In addition, lake dryness stress reduced the C-hydrolytic enzyme activity and soil enzyme stoichiometry. The vector and Vector-TER analysis suggested the riparian soil was C and N limitation of the microbial community (vector length of 2.05 ± 0.57 and vector angle of 30.10° ± 7.70°), and dryness had reduced the limitations to some extent. Most notably, we combined structural equation model (SEM) analysis and found that lake dryness stress affects riparian soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics by significantly affecting microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and soil pH. Finally, the response of riparian zone to eco-hydrological condition under climate change should receive further attention, which can effectively deepen our understanding of the carbon water cycle mechanism in riparian soil under changing environments.
