Land-use types impact soil ecosystem functions by altering the soil multitrophic biodiversity and interactions

Abstract

Although the contribution of biodiversity to supporting ecosystem functions is well established in soil ecosystems, previous studies have often overlooked the importance of potential multitrophic interactions in supporting ecosystem functions. This study analyzed the effects of land uses on potential multitrophic interactions and their impacts on soil ecosystem functions, using soil environmental DNA samples from five land-use types. Results showed that land use can influence soil ecosystem functions by altering the soil multitrophic biodiversity and interactions. Keystone species are crucial in shaping the soil microbial composition, mediating network interactions, and supporting the ecosystem function. This study promotes the understanding of the mechanisms behind changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services resulting from land-use changes and is beneficial to making informed trade-offs in urban planning.
