| 英文摘要 | Wetlands and meadows are two terrestrial ecosystems that are strikingly distinct in terms of hydrological conditions and biogeochemical characteristics. Wetlands generally feature saturated soils, high accumulation of organic matter, and hypoxic environments. They support unique microbial communities and play crucial roles as carbon sinks and nutrient retainers. In contrast, meadows are characterized by lower water supply, enhanced aeration, and accelerated turnover of organic matter. The transition from wetlands to meadows under global climate change and human activities has triggered severe ecological consequences in the Sanjiangyuan region, yet the mechanisms driving microbial network stability remain unclear. This study integrates microbial sequencing, soil physicochemical analyses, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to reveal systematic changes in microbial communities during wetland degradation. Key findings indicate: (1) critical soil parameter shifts (moisture: 48.5%-> 19.3%; SOM: -43.6%; salinity: +170%); (2) functional microbial restructuring with drought-tolerant Actinobacteria (+62.8%) and Ascomycota (+48.3%) replacing wetland specialists (Nitrospirota: -43.2%, Basidiomycota: -28.6%); (3) fundamental network reorganization from sparse wetland connections to hypercomplex meadow networks (bacterial nodes +344%, fungal edges +139.2%); (4) SEM identifies moisture (lambda = 0.82), organic matter (lambda = 0.68), and salinity (lambda = -0.53) as primary drivers. Particularly, the collapse of methane-oxidizing archaea (-100%) and emergence of pathogenic fungi (+28.6%) highlight functional thresholds in degradation processes. These findings provide microbial regulation targets for wetland restoration, emphasizing hydrologic management and organic carbon conservation as priority interventions. Future research should assess whether similar microbial and network transitions occur in degraded wetlands across other alpine and temperate regions, to validate the broader applicability of these ecological thresholds. Restoration efforts should prioritize re-saturating soils, reducing salinity, and enhancing organic matter retention to stabilize microbial networks and restore essential ecosystem functions. |
