Long-term effects of combined application of chemical fertilizers and organic materials on maize yield stability and microbial functional potential and soil microbial community structure in alkaline soils
Sustainable agriculture in China’s Northeast Black Soil Region faces a critical challenge: naturally alkaline soils with elevated pH restrict nutrient availability, impair microbial functions, and cause yield fluctuations under long-term chemical fertilization. A five-year field experiment (2021–2025) in And...
