Core microbes regulate plant-soil resilience by maintaining network resilience during long-term restoration of alpine grasslands

Abstract
The alpine grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), the world’s highest plateau, have been severely degraded. To address this degradation, human-involved restoration efforts, including grassland cultivation, have been implemented. However, the impact of these practices on soil microbial community stability and its relationship with plant-soil system resilience has not been explored. In this study, we evaluate the effects of grassland restoration on microbial communities. We show that bacteria demonstrate higher composition resistance and resilience during the restoration process, when compared to fungi. The changes we observe in microbial community interactions support the stress gradient hypothesis.…
