Subsoiling-Induced Shifts in Nitrogen Dynamics and Microbial Community Structure in Semi-Arid Rainfed Maize Agroecosystems

Global agricultural intensification has exacerbated soil compaction and nitrogen (N) inefficiency, thereby threatening sustainable crop production. Sub-soiling, a tillage technique that fractures subsurface layers while preserving surface structure, offers potential solutions by modifying soil physi...
