Abstract
Soil aggregates are the key functional units of soil ecosystems which are essential to biogeochemical cycling and plant growth. However, it remains unclear how fertilization regimes influence soil aggregation, associated resources, and microbial distribution among aggregates, as well as the potential subsequent impacts for other abiotic and biotic processes. For this, a long-term maize cropping field experiment was conducted in the subtropical region of China under four fertilization treatments: no fertilizer, chemical fertilization, organic fertilization, and chemical plus organic fertilization. Additionally, we classified soil aggregates into large macro aggregates (>2 mm), small macro-aggregates (0.25-2 mm), and micro-aggregates (
