Precipitation gradients restructure rhizosphere and bulk soil microbial communities and potential nitrogen-cycling gene profiles in a desert steppe.

Precipitation change can restructure microbially mediated soil nitrogen (N) cycling in water-limited grasslands, yet whether rhizosphere and bulk soils respond differently remains unclear. An in situ precipitation-gradient experiment in the desert steppe of Inner Mongolia combined soil physicochemical measurements, sho...
