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
