Summary

is suitable for planting in the agricultural pastoral ecotone of Zhangjiakou, because of its high soil carbon, nitrogen and microbial network complexity. Bacterial community composition was found to be closely related to soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), while that of fungi was closely related to SOC, clay and silt content. This improvement in microbial complexity enhances the ecological service function of the agricultural pastoral ecotone. These findings offer theoretical basis and technical support for the vegetation restoration of ecologically fragile areas in agricultural pastoral ecotone.
