Edge effects and spatial degradation process in highly fragmented grassland – impact on soil microbial community

Patchy degradation is a typical characteristic of grassland degradation. However, little is known about the responses of soil microbial community composition and richness to patchy degradation process, although soil microbes play important roles in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Further,...
