💡 #SoilMicrobialCommunityStructure of #AlpineMeadows
Place: #SanjiangyuanNationalPark
Results:
Meadows degradation ➡️
1️⃣ #VegetationSpeciesDiversity ⬆️ → aboveground productivity ⬇️ ⇒ soil deterioration;
2️⃣ relative abundance: oligotrophic bacteria ⬆️, dominant fungi ⬇️;
3️⃣ #MicrobialTaxaCompetition ⬆️
