The application of organic matter to agricultural land is an efficient way to maintain soil eco-
sustainability through the mediation of the soil-dwelling microbiome. Despite their important
role in soil health, trait-based changes within cross-kingdom microbial communities
following organic fertilization in soils are still poorly characterized. Here, shotgun
metagenomic sequencing was used to examine microbial taxonomic and functional
composition when subjected to a fertilization gradient, in which increasing amounts of cow …
