Water content differences have stronger effects than plant functional groups on soil bacteria in a steppe ecosystem.
Many investigations across natural and artificial plant diversity gradients have reported that both soil physicochemical factors and plant community composition affect soil microbial communities. To test the effect of plant diversity loss on soil bacterial communities, we conducted a five-year plant...
