How nutrient\u2010release strategies influence rhizosphere microbiome assembly and ecosystem functioning remains poorly understood. Here, we developed a bamboo shoot\u2010specific controlled\u2010release fertilizer (CRF) and evaluated different urea\u2010CRF blending ratios to identify sustainable fertilization strategy for Lei bamboo production. Mixed CRF\u2010urea treatments outperformed both sole\u2010fertilizer applications and the unfertilized control. T2 (30% urea + 70% CRF) achieved the highest shoot yield, whereas T3 (50% urea + 50% CRF) enhanced NUE. Optimized fertilization improved soil nutrient availability and organic matter accumulation without significantly affecting soil pH. Metagenomic analysis revealed the enrichment of taxa associated with nutrient transformation, organic matter turnover, and plant growth. However, pathway\u2010level analysis revealed shifts in carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling activities under optimized nutrient\u2010release regimes. Our results demonstrate that synchronizing nitrogen release with plant and microbial demand enhances rhizosphere function, productivity and NUE. T2 delivered the strongest overall agronomic performance by maximizing shoot yield while maintaining improved nutrient retention and ecological stability. These findings provide a mechanistic link between fertilization strategy, rhizosphere microbial dynamics, and ecosystem function, supporting sustainable Lei bamboo production.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1462-2920.70401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T00:21:42Z","timestamp":1786666902000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Optimized Controlled\u2010Release Fertilization Improves Productivity and Reshapes the Rhizosphere Microbiome in Lei Bamboo: A Metagenomic Assessment"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Zhenya","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Academy of Forestry  Zhejiang Hangzhou China"},{"name":"Northwest Zhejiang Bamboo Forest Ecosystem Positioning Observation and Research Station, National Forestry and Grassland Administration  Zhejiang Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7819-339X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muthusamy","family":"Ramakrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tree Genetics and Breeding, Co\u2010Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Bamboo Research Institute Nanjing Forestry University  Nanjing Jiangsu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0801-8192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Academy of Forestry  Zhejiang Hangzhou China"},{"name":"Northwest Zhejiang Bamboo Forest Ecosystem Positioning Observation and Research Station, National Forestry and Grassland Administration  Zhejiang Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5180-2087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiang","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tree Genetics and Breeding, Co\u2010Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Bamboo Research Institute Nanjing Forestry University  Nanjing Jiangsu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6170-4608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zishan","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tree Genetics and Breeding, Co\u2010Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Bamboo Research Institute Nanjing Forestry University  Nanjing Jiangsu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2025.1543714"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tplants.2012.04.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41522-024-00547-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pce.14873"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2024.171581"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","volume-title":"Biological Nitrogen and Carbon Fixation: Bridging the Gap Between Synthetic Symbioses and Synthetic Biology","author":"Cheng Q.","year":"2026"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","volume-title":"A Review of Plant\u2010Mediated and Fertilization\u2010Induced Shifts in ammonia Oxidizers: Implications for Nitrogen Cycling in Agroecosystems","author":"Chinthalapudi D.
