Summary
Alpine steppe (AS), alpine meadow (AM), and alpine swamp meadow (ASM) are the principal grassland types on the Tibetan Plateau, which not only contribute to the maintenance of local ecosystem functions but also play a crucial role in global ecological processes. Soil microbial communities act as indispensable linchpins in modulating ecosystem functions. However, there is still a lack of general understanding about the regulatory mechanisms of soil fungi and bacteria with their multidimensional attributes on ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) in different grassland types. Here, we comprehensively investigated the relative impacts of microbial diversity, community composition, network complexity, as well as the soil environmental factors on EMF in the three grassland types. Our results indic
