To explore the stabilization effect of livestock manure biochar on Cd-contaminated soil and its impact on the soil environment, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the stabilization efficiency of cattle manure-biochar (BC) and thiol-modified biochar (SBC) on Cd in soil and their effect on the soil properties and microbial community. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the effect pathways of BC and SBC on the soil microbial community. The results showed that BC and SBC increased soil pH, available potassium, available phosphorus, and organic matter content but decreased soil available nitrogen content compared with those in CK. The stabilization efficiency of BC for Cd in soil was 14.97%, which was much lower than that of SBC (85.71%). Moreover, SBC increased the abundance of dominant bacterial phyla in soil, with Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota, and Cyanobacteria increasing most significantly. SBC decreased the diversity of soil microorganisms, but the decrease was insignificant (
