Abstract Fungal communities play a critical role in regulating soil nutrient cycling and plant growth. However, the effects of long-term mineral and organic fertilization on fungal communities in Ultisols remain largely unknown. Soil samples from a 27-year fertilization experiment were used to investigate fungal communities through high-throughput sequencing along with literature data. The study involved seven treatments: no fertilization (Control), mineral NPK fertilizer (NPK), NPK fertilizer plus lime (NPK + Lime), NPK fertilizer plus peanut straw (NPK + PeanStraw), NPK fertilizer plus rice straw (NPK + RiceStraw), NPK fertilizer plus radish residue (NPK + RadResidue), and NPK fertilizer plus pig manure (NPK + PigManure). Long-term amendment of mineral and organic fertilizers did not alter fungal diversity in strong acidic Ultisols (original soil pH = 4.96). Meta-analysis of 60 global measurements in literature showed that fertilizer-induced decreases in fungal diversity (Hedge's d = −0.36; p 6 rather than

- A meta-analysis of the effect of organic and mineral fertilizers on soil microbial diversity (2020, background): “…of fertilizers on soil fungal diversity found that mineral fertilizers tended to reduce diversity while organic fertilizers had no significant effect (Ye et al., 2020), although the analysis did not consider sample sizes or variances of study data and so the findings are difficult to interpret.”
