Beyond taxonomic richness: Network topology and functional gene abundance reveal tillage and nitrogen as physiological and topological filters across heterogeneous corn agroecosystems

Soil microbial communities underpin key ecosystem functions, yet their responses to agricultural intensification remain difficult to predict across heterogeneous landscapes. This study evaluated the impact of nitrogen (N) fertilization rates (0–200 kg N/ha) and tillage intensity...
