Soil microbial responses to long-term agricultural practices under no-till: Insights from depth-resolved sampling of shallow soil layers

Abstract Fungal and bacterial communities were characterized at three soil depths (0–3.5 cm, 3.5–7.5 cm, and 7.5–15 cm) in a 15-year no-till field experiment involving diversified crop rotations with two levels of nitrogen fertilization and soybean monoculture. We hypothesized th...
