Summary
Land-use changes have widespread impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. However, few studies have focused on the responses of soil environmental factors, soil microbial properties, and links between primary productivity, soil microbes, and soil multifunctionality during land-use change in the ecologically sensitive alpine areas on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we evaluated the effects of land-use changes from alpine grassland to farmland to shrubland on soil factors and soil microbial characteristics and investigated the associations between aboveground biomass, soil microbial diversity, network complexity, and soil multifunctionality in the Qinghai Lake Basin. The results showed that soil environmental factors and microbial community composition exhibited patterns of gradual rec
