Grazing-induced microbiome alterations drive soil organic carbon turnover and productivity in meadow steppe

Abstract Background Grazing is a major modulator of biodiversity and productivity in grasslands. However, our understanding of grazing-induced changes in below-ground communities, processes, and soil productivity is limited. Here, using a long-term enclosed grazing meadow steppe, we investigated the...
