Alternative stable states of microbiome structure and soil ecosystem functions
Our results suggest that the structure of complex soil microbiomes can be categorized into alternative stable states, which potentially differ in ecosystem-level functioning. Such insights into the relationship between structure, stability, and functions of ecological communities will provide a basis for ecosystem restoration and the sustainable management of agroecosystems.
