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.

Soil nutrient dynamics in forest ecosystems are governed by complex interactions among vegetation cover, pedogenic gradients, and landscape-scale heterogeneity, yet depth-explicit assessments across contrasting land covers remain scarce in semiarid alluvial systems.
