Variations in species and function diversity of soil fungal community along a desertification gradient in an alpine steppe

Desertification can pose threats to global socioeconomic development, ecological and environmental safety, human health and survival. Species and function diversity are two aspects of biodiversity, and soil fungal community are important decomposers, playing important roles in element cycling. A fie...
