Land use and season drive changes in soil microbial communities and related functions in agricultural soils

Abstract Soil microorganisms are important for the maintenance of soil health and related functions. Agricultural management practices such as land use, season, and fertilizer affect soil microbial community structures. However, the effect of these management practices on soil microorganisms and rel...
