Long-Term Monoculture Negatively Regulates Fungal Community Composition and Abundance of Tea Orchards

Continuous cropping frequently leads to soil acidification and major soil-borne diseases in tea plants, resulting in low tea yield. We have limited knowledge about the effects of continuous tea monoculture on soil properties and the fungal community. Here, we selected three replanted tea fields with...
