“…In our study, soil PH was acid in this region with highest in PSM, and lowest in PSME, which was similar to the research from forests of Uruguay demonstrating that soil pH in excluded area was lower than in grazed area (Etchebarne & Brazeiro, 2016). However, previous study from Inner Mongolia grasslands finding that soil pH increased and became more neutral with the increase of enclosure time (Ma et al, 2016). What's more, we further found that PSME could increase soil nutrients significantly than PSM, including soil total C, total N, total P and available N contents (P < 0.05), which was agreement with the studies about grassland from Xiong et al (2016) and Gebregergs et al (2019).…”

Grazing and litter removal can alter understory structure and composition after afforestation, posing a serious threat to sustainable forest development. Enclosure is considered to be an effective measure to restore degraded forest restoration. However, little is known about the dynamics of soil nutrients and microbial communities during the forest restoration process. In the present study, the effects of Arachis hypogaea (AH), Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica (PSM) and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica with enclosure (PSME) on soil chemical properties and soil microbial communities were studied in Zhanggutai, Liaoning Province, China. The results showed that PSME could remarkably contribute to improve soil total C, total N and total P compared to PSM and AH. Additionally, PSM could clearly increase the soil bacterial community diversity and fungal Chao1 index and ACE index. Additionally, PSME could further increase soil Chao1 index and ACE index of soil bacteria. Soil total C, total N and available N were the main factors related to soil microbial diversity. Actinobacteria and Ascomycota were the predominant bacterial and fungal phyla, respectively. Specifically, PSME could increase the relative abundances of Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Ascomycota and Mortierellomycota and decreased the relative abundances of Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi and Basidiomycota than PSM. PSM and PSME could clearly change soil microbial communities compared with AH and PSME could remarkably shift soil fungal communities than PSM. What’s more, the soil microbial community structure were affected by multiple edaphic chemical parameters. It can be seen that afforestation combined with enclosed management potentially regulate microbial properties through shifting the soil properties. This study can provide new ideas for further understanding the impact of enclosure on PSM and provide theoretical support for the management of PSM.

“…The temperate grassland is a CH 4 sink (Geng et al, 2010). Consistently, methanotrophs are highly abundant in the temperate grasslands, with 10 7 –10 8 pmoA gene copies per gram of soil and USC‐γ as the main methanotrophic cluster (T. Ma et al, 2015). Methanotrophic abundance increased with lower soil moisture content, which facilitates more CH 4 and O 2 diffusion into soil amenable for the proliferation of methanotrophs.…”

Functional profiles of soil microbial communities in the alpine and temperate grasslands of China

Grassland ecosystems in cold regions are typical of short growing seasons and limited primary productivity, rendering soil microorganisms as major ecosystem engineers in governing biogeochemical cycling. Climate warming and extensive livestock grazing have dramatically influenced soil microbial diversity and function in grassland worldwide, but it remains elusive how functional microbial communities exist and respond to global changes. Here, we present a review to highlight similarities and differences in soil functional microbial communities between alpine grasslands in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and temperate grasslands in the Inner Mongolian Plateau, both of which are major plateaus in China, but differ substantially in geography. We show that many specialized functional groups thrive under harsh conditions, exhibiting a high functional diversity. Their community compositions mirror the heterogeneity and complexity of grassland soils. Moreover, functional microbial responses to environmental changes have been extremely variable, with few consistent patterns across both plateaus. Because we identify a lack of technical standardization that prevents in-depth comparative studies for functional microbial communities, we conclude the review by outlining several research gaps that need to be filled in future studies.
