- Intervention effect Crop residue substitution reduced total nitrogen losses by 21% compared with synthetic fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Crop residue substitution enhanced richness of important bacterial taxa at the seedling stage.
- Observation Important bacterial taxon richness converged across treatments at silking and harvest.
- Method / resource Stage-specific models predicted total nitrogen losses with R² of 0.68–0.79.
- Association Important bacterial taxa dominated prediction of total nitrogen losses at the seedling stage.
- Association Fungal diversity significantly predicted nitrogen losses during silking and harvest.
