Desert wetlands are evolving into deserts by groundwater table (GWT) drawdown. However,
the changes in microbial communities and functions during the GWT drawdown are unclear …

In groundwater-fed desert wetlands, groundwater table (GWT) decline leads to the loss of
carbon and nutrients, followed by the expansion of desertification. How the GWT decline …

Soil microbes are important components in element cycling and nutrient supply for the
development of alpine ecosystems. However, the development of microbial community …

Understanding the changes in microbial community composition in wetlands affected by
different types of degradation can help enrich theoretical knowledge about wetland …

Karst rocky desertification (KRD) is a process of land degradation, which causes desert-like
landscapes, deconstruction of endemic biomass, and declined soil quality. The relationship …

Water availability is the dominant driver of microbial community structure and function in
desert soils. However, these habitats typically only receive very infrequent large-scale water …

To understand the response of soil microbial communities in different types of wetlands to
anthropogenic disturbances, this study focused on a freshwater wetland (Sanjiang Wetland) …

The wetlands on the Zoige Plateau have experienced serious degradation, with most of the
original marsh being converted to marsh meadow or meadow. Based on the 3 wetland …

Wetland degradation makes significant impacts on soil, and bacterial communities in soil are
likely to respond to these impacts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of …

Desertification often occurs in fragile steppe ecosystems, which may lead to severe soil
degradation. Understanding how soil microbial communities respond to desertification is …
