Grazing exclusion alters grassland soil aggregation, microbiome composition, and biogeochemical processes. However, the long‐term effects of grazing exclusion on the microbial communities and nutrient dynamics within soil aggregates remain unclear. We conducted a 36‐year exclusion experiment to inve...
