Soil degradation influences soil bacterial and fungal community diversity in overgrazed alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Abstract Over half of the alpine meadows in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) are degraded due to human activities. Soil degradation from overgrazing is the most direct cause of grassland degradation. It is thus important to synthesize the effects of multiple soil degradation indicators on the belowgr...
