Abstract
Abstract In macroecology, the concept of r‐ and K‐strategy has been widely applied, yet, there have been limited studies on microbial life‐history strategies in temperate grasslands using multiple sequencing approaches. Total phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, high‐throughput meta‐genomic sequencing, and GeoChip technologies were used to examine the changes in microbial life‐history traits in a chronosequence of restored grasslands (1, 5, 10, 15, 25, and 30 years since restoration). Grassland restoration increased the relative abundances of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes but reduced the relative abundances of Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Chloroflexi. PLFA analysis revealed that…
