摘要： Microorganisms are the basis for sustaining ecosystem function and are extremely sensitive to global warming and altered precipitation. Nevertheless, the seasonal pattern of the microbial response to a coupled effect of warming and increased precipitation is largely unknown. We set up a six-year manipulative experiment to verify changes in microbial response to warming (approximately 2 degrees C), increased precipitation (20 %), and their interactive effect in a semiarid steppe in Inner Mongolia. We detected changes in microbial species richness, diversity, community structure, and microbial interactions during different periods of the growing season. The results suggest that warming and increased precipitation had a stronger impact on the microbial community in the early growing season than in the mid- and late growing seasons. In the early growing season, warming significantly decreased bacterial diversity, while increased precipitation did not significantly affect the microbial community. The interactive effect of increased precipitation and warming significantly increased bacterial richness but decreased fungal richness and amplified the dissimilarities among bacterial and fungal communities. Compared to the early growing season, less microbial taxa significantly responded to warming and increased precipitation in the mid- and late growing seasons. Warming weakened species interactions, as evidenced by fewer nodes and links and lower complexity and robustness in the network. Increased precipitation strengthened species interactions and eased the warming-induced negative effect under the interactive effect. Our findings emphasize that more attention should be given to the changes in the microbial community in the early growing season of grassland in Inner Mongolia under future climate change scenarios.
