[Display omitted] •Nitrogen type rather than application rate dominated high-risk ARGs increase in soil.•NO3–-N and NH4+-N treated soil had lower ARGs abundance than CO(NH2)2 treated soil.•Bacterial community mainly drove ARGs variation in soil–plant system.•NH4+-N fertilizer was proposed to control...
