Traits of dominant species and soil properties co-regulate soil microbial communities across land restoration types in a subtropical plateau region of Southwest China

Soil microbial community is essential for maintaining and improving ecosystem functioning in ecological restoration practice and is intimately linked with the plant community. However, little is known on how soil microbial communities respond to the functional characteristics of plant communities. Here we investigated the changes in plant community functional attributes, soil properties, and soil microbial community characteristics of four land...
