Abstract:Soil microorganisms play an important role in regulating and contributing to carbon cycling processes in grassland ecosystems. Soil salinization is one of the major problems causing soil degradation, and its effects on carbon cycle immobilization-related functional genes in soil microorganisms remain unknown. Therefore, we took Songnen salinization grassland as the research object, selected grasslands with different salinization levels, and explored the diversity of soil microorganisms and functional genes rel… Show more
