Multiple long-term observations reveal a strategy for soil pH-dependent fertilization and fungal communities in support of agricultural production

•Soil pH determines fertilization strategy and fungal community response.•Long-term inorganic fertilization can achieve high crop yield in alkaline soils.•Acidic soil productivity can be maintained by inorganic-organic fertilization.•Mortierella and Pseudaleuria were enriched by inorganic-organic fertilization.
