Long-term regional evidence of the effects of livestock grazing on soil microbial community structure and functions in surface and deep soil layers

Grazing by livestock can affect plant biodiversity and topsoil functions. However, experimental evidence on whether these impacts are limited to the topsoil or penetrate into deep layers (via changes in soil environment and resource locations) of soil is lacking, especially for soil microbial biomas...
