Abstract Understanding the processes that regulate communities of microorganisms is a key issue and focus in microbial ecology. Although fungi play critical role soil biogeochemical cycling, their community assembly remain largely unknown, especially agricultural soils. In this study, we investigated relative importance five (variable selection, homogeneous dispersal, dispersal limitation an undominated process) fungal under long‐term (28 years, 1990–2018) fertilization management consisting 12 different treatments triplicate field plots. Using Illumina MiSeq sequencing 18S rRNA eukaryotic gene, observed manure were all structured primarily by whereas chemical fertilizer process. Soil calcium played important shaping community, organic matter concentrations had considerable impact on phylogenetic composition. Overall, our results suggest should be considered as factor driving farmed Highlights Ca Chemical resulted homogenous selection processes. A combination fostered
