Elevational controls on soil fertility and microbial drivers in Tibetan alpine grasslands

Description

Understanding altitudinal soil fertility patterns and microbial mechanisms is necessary for restoring degraded grasslands and managing nutrients. However, integrated plant - soil - microorganism regulatory pathways remain unclear. Here, we set 40 sites across 5 elevations (ranging from below 2500 m to above 4000 m) in Nyingchi grasslands, analyzing vertical (0 - 100 cm) patterns of plant productivity, soil properties, SFI, and microbial communities to reveal synergistic mechanisms.
