Anthropogenic disturbances consistently favor the high-yield strategists of soil bacterial community in the Eurasian steppe

Abstract Purpose Multiple anthropogenic disturbances, such as climate warming and nitrogen deposition are affecting terrestrial ecosystems. Different disturbances may have some consistent effects on the soil microbial community, which remains largely unexplored. Methods We mimicked 16 anthropogenic...
