Erosion and deposition divergently affect the structure of soil bacterial communities and functionality

Soil erosion and deposition dramatically affect the biogeochemical cycle of terrestrial ecosystem, while how the microbial communities and soil multiple functions responds to soil erosion, particularly following deposition, are rarely addressed. Such knowledge gap hinders our comprehensively understanding about biogeochemistry cycling, the development of sustainable soil management practices and the restoration of degraded lands in an eroding...
