Aggregate formation depends on microbial activity influencing the production of exudates and hyphae, which in turn act as binding materials. Fungi are also important for improving soil quality and promoting plant growth in a symbiotic manner. There is a scarcity of findings comparing the long-term impacts of different yearly double-crop straw return modes (e.g., straw return to the field and straw-derived biochar return to the field) on soil aggregation and fungal community structure in rice¨Cwheat rotation systems %K Straw and biochar %K Soil aggregation %K Illumina sequencing %K Fungal community structure %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6322488/
