Biotic and abiotic properties mediating plant diversity effects on soil microbial communities in an experimental grassland.

Biotic and abiotic properties mediating plant diversity effects on soil microbial communities in an experimental grassland.

Plant diversity drives changes in the soil microbial community which may result in alterations in ecosystem functions. However, the governing factors between the composition of soil microbial communities and plant diversity are not well understood. We investigated the impact of plant diversity (plan...
