Aridity-driven shifts in plant–microbial diversity relationships across the arid and semi-arid grasslands of northern China

Climate change-driven aridification threatens above- and belowground biodiversity, yet how the relationships between plant diversity and soil microbial diversity change along aridity gradients remains unclear. Here, we conducted a 4,000-km field survey across arid and semi-arid grasslands in northern China. We show t...
