Diversity Patterns in Soil Fungal and Bacterial Communities: Differential Impact of Sequential Fertilizer Application, Pyrogenic Disturbance, and Unmanaged Soils in Rainfed Maize Cropping Systems

To investigate the bacterial and fungal biodiversity in soils from rainfed maize fields subjected to sequential nitrogen fertilizer applications, post-harvest residue burning, and unmanaged conditions, in order to assess the differential impact of these practices on soil microbial communities.
