We studied the microbial communities in plant compartments (phyllosphere, leaf endosphere, rhizosphere, root endosphere) and bulk soil of typical plants growing in meadow steppe and typical steppe of
Nutrients and herbivores are well-known drivers of grassland diversity and stability in local communities. However, whether they interact to impact the stability of aboveground biomass and whet
We quantified five ecosystem functions (i.e., plant productivity, soil stability, soil carbon storage, soil decomposition capacity, and soil nutrient cycling), and calculated trade-offs among them acr
In a group of 5, a 50m transect was laid out from the edge of a pond to the edge of a grassland. At each 10m interval (including the 0m interval), 2 quadrats were laid out; one on each side of the tra
