Effects of long-term integrated agri-aquaculture on the soil fungal community structure and function in vegetable fields [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
AbstractThe diversity and community structure of soil fungi play an important role in crop production and ecosystem balance, especially in paddy-upland vegetable field systems. High-throughput sequencing was used to study changes in the soil fungal community structure and function in paddy-upland vegetable field systems.
