Arid and semi‐arid grassland ecosystems cover about 15% of the global land surface and provide vital soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sequestration. Although half of the soil C and N is stored in deep soils (below 30 cm), no regional‐scale study of microbial properties and their functions through the soil profile has been conducted in these drylands.
To explore the distribution and determinants...
AimTo assess how the diversity of above‐ and below‐ground organisms changes along environmental gradients at the regional scale and whether the effects of diversity changes on biomass are similar for above‐ and below‐ground organisms.
LocationSemi‐arid grasslands of the Mongolian Plateau.
MethodsWe investigated diversity (α‐, β‐ and γ‐) and biomass of plant and soil nematodes as well as environmental...
