Soil microbial plays a very important role in the grassland ecosystems, but measured data is very lack. In this paper, based on the ground survey data microbial dynamic changes in growing seasons of Desert steppe in 2012 was estimated. The main conclusions are as follows: soil bacteria number began to increase in May, reached to highest value in July and then began to decrease. Actinomycetes population increased first and then decreased. Fungus amount decreased in beginning and then increased. Grazing significantly affect the number of soil microbial, shown as soil microbial of very severe grazing fences are significantly lower than other fences.

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in ecological restoration, but it is unknown how co-occurrence networks within these communities respond to grazing exclusion. This lack of information was addressed by investigating the effects of eight years of grazing exclusion on microbial networks in an area of Stipa glareosa P. Smirn desert steppe in northern China. Here, we show that fungal networks were more sensitive to grazing exclusion than bacterial networks. Eight years of grazing exclusion decreased the soil fungal community stability via changes in plant composition and reductions in soil total organic carbon, in this case triggering negative effects on the S. glareosa desert steppe. The results provide new insights into the response mechanisms of soil microbes to grazing exclusion and offer possible solutions for management issues in the restoration of degraded desert steppe.
