Impact of long-term fertilization on fungal communities in one at the long term static fertilization experiment in Bad Lauchstadt

Agricultural practices often take place without considering their long term effect on ecosystem biodiversity. Studies in agricultural long-term experiments allow enlightening the effects of different land management on the ability of cropping systems not only to ensure productivity but also to maintain ecosystem functions and services, in particular quality and biodiversity of soils. In this study the effect of long-term nutrient input (113 years) on soil fungal community structure was determined by high-throughput amplicon pyrosequencing.
