Herbivore assemblages affect soil microbial communities by altering root biomass and available nutrients in an alpine meadow

Herbivore assemblages affect soil microbial communities by altering root biomass and available nutrients in an alpine meadow

Three different herbivore grazing assemblages, namely, yak grazing (YG), Tibetan sheep grazing (SG) and yak and Tibetan sheep co-grazing (MG), are practiced in alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), but the effects of the different herbivore assemblages on soil microbes are relatively...
