Compared with pure forest, mixed forest alters microbial diversity and increases the complexity of interdomain networks in arid areas

ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are key to material cycling and energy exchange in forest soils. As the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang are rich in tree species, it is important to understand the impact of tree species composition on soil microbial community structure and co-occurrence networks i...
