Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.
