Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and smooth regression based on aridity for plant (a), bacterial (b) and fungal (c) community structures.

#EnvironmentalFiltering contributed more to the #β-diversity of plants, bacterial and fungal communities than #DispersalLimitation. #Aridity emerged as a key driver of β-diversity for above- and belowground communities in semi-arid #Grasslands.

Distinct geographic patterns and drivers of plant, bacterial, and fungal β-diversity in semi-arid grasslands: Insights from a 1,700 km transect in northern China Abstract. The β-diversity, as the variation in community composition across habitats, is crucial for understanding regional community assembly and biodiver
