摘要： Grazing is the most extensive land use in grassland worldwide, wherein the soil microbiome is known to support multiple ecosystem functions. Yet, the experimental impact of livestock grazing and dung deposits on the soil microbiome in degraded grassland remains poorly understood. We examined the effects of sheep dung depositions on the bacterial and fungal microbiome of two grasslands: non-degraded and degraded (long-term overgrazing) in northern China. Specifically, sheep dung was experimentally added to the soil and its effects on the soil microbial community were determined 3 months later (corresponding to livestock excreta deposited throughout the entire growing season of grassland, June to September). Our results showed that sheep dung additions showed negative effects on the soil microbiome of already degraded grassland, while with a diminished impact on the non-degraded grassland. In particular, dung deposition decreased soil microbial Shannon index, notably significantly reducing fungal diversity in degraded grassland. Moreover, sheep dung deposition modifies soil bacterial community structure and diminishes bacterial community network complexity. The alteration of soil pH caused by sheep dung deposition partially explains the decline in microbial diversity in degraded grassland. However, sheep dung did not alter the relative abundance and community composition of bacterial and fungal dominant phyla either in the non-degraded or in the degraded grassland. In conclusion, the short-term deposition of sheep dung exerted a detrimental influence on the microbial community in degraded grassland soil. It contributes new experimental evidence regarding the adverse effects of livestock grazing, particularly through dung deposition, on the soil microbiome in degraded grassland. This knowledge is crucial for guiding managers in conserving the soil microbiome in grazed grasslands.
