To mitigate overgrazing on grasslands, towns were constructed in some pastoral regions of China to relocate pastoralists. Nevertheless, whether and how the urbanized lands impact surrounding grassland ecosystem remains unclear. We assessed impacts plant soil interactions within grasslands order ensure an eco-sustainable pastoralist relocation. The town with 1 km radius was selected as urbanization sample a nature sample. Plants investigated (NG), areas (T-1 km), 2 (T-2 3 (T-3 km) from center town. In T-1 T-2 km, compared NG, diversity, abundance dominant species, wood saprotroph fungi, water content (SWC), total organic carbon (TOC) decreased, while pathogen pH, phosphatase (TP) increased. Conversely, no such changes observed T-3 km. results Mantel test Partial least squares path model suggest that decrease TOC SWC, along increase pH TP lead decline fungi ultimately resulting reductions diversity species. These indicate can degradation by deteriorating plant-soil interactions.
