Integrated fertilization promotes walnut growth by reshaping microbial nutrient cycling in degraded sandy soils

Restoration of degraded sandy soils is often constrained by impaired microbial functioning and disrupted nutrient cycling, making effective fertilization management essential for ecosystem recovery and plant growth. We investigated how combined organic and inorganic fertilization influences microbial community composition, functional potential, and soil multifunctionality in rhizosphere and bulk soils of a walnut orchard in the […]
