Aim The interactions between plants and soil microbes play crucial roles in modulating the
function and stability of terrestrial ecosystems. However, the relationships between plant and …

Land use change obviously changes the plant community composition and soil properties of
grasslands and thus affects multiple functions and services of grassland ecosystems …

Plant diversity drives changes in the soil microbial community which may result in alterations
in ecosystem functions. However, the governing factors between the composition of soil …

Restoring ecosystems has been a key strategy to combat land degradation and reverse
losses in biodiversity. Because interactions between communities above and below the …

Simple Summary Understanding relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem
functions is important in the context of global plant diversity loss. We evaluated the …

To identify the key roles and underlying mechanism for assembling soil microbial community
structures at regional scales, we examined soil bacterial community compositions from 20 …

Despite the known influence of plant diversity on soil microbial diversity, the potential role of
plant functional traits in regulating soil bacterial diversity remains largely unclear. There is a …

Plant diversity has long been assumed to predict soil microbial diversity. However,
contradictory results have been found when examining their relationships, particularly at …

The trait‐based approach shows that plant functional diversity strongly affects ecosystem
properties. However, few empirical studies show the relationship between soil fungal …

Habitat fragmentation is a primary cause of biodiversity loss. As an essential part of the
ecosystem, soil microorganisms participate in a series of ecosystem processes. However …
