Microbes require a relatively long time to recover in natural succession restoration of degraded grassland ecosystems

Using natural succession to restore degraded grassland is mainly achieved by self-adjusting the structure and relationship of the internal components of grassland ecosystems. Microorganisms play an important role in the restoration of grassland ecosystems; however, there is no systematic research su...

description Using natural succession to restore degraded grassland is mainly achieved by self-adjusting the structure and relationship of the internal components of grassland ecosystems. Microorganisms play an important role in the restoration of grassland ecosystems; however, there is no systematic research summary on how microbial communities respond to natural restoration succession in degraded grasslands. In this study, related research results in recent years were summarized and analyzed using meta-analysis.
