In particular, soil microbial diversity in shallow soil layers (0-5 cm depth) had stronger positive correlations with plant diversity and EMF than in deeper soil layers. Furthermore, structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that grazing reduced EMF mainly via reducing plant diversity, rather than by reducing soil microbial diversity. Thus, plant diversity played a more important role in mediating the response of EMF to grazing disturbance. This study highlights the critical role of above- and belowground diversity in mediating the re
