Prolonged grazing reduces the diversity and weakens virus-host links of metagenome-assembled viral community in acidic karst soil
Overall, our findings indicate that inappropriate land use (long-term grazing) disrupts the virus-host balance, thereby altering the functional profiles of the soil viral community.
