Abstract Research Highlight Discussing: Li, L., Liu, J., Luo, Y., Sun, Zhang, Wang, T., Zhu, N., Bao, Xu, & Yan, Y. (2025). Grazing‐induced enhancement of shrub ‘multifunctional island’ effect is associated with altered soil bacterial β diversity in shrub‐encroached grasslands. Journal Applied Ecology , https://doi.org/10.1111/1365‐2664.70025 . Increasing the intensity encroachment and grazing threatening biodiversity ecosystem services grasslands worldwide. Understanding on structure function crucial for grassland conservation restoration. Recent studies have begun to examine influences grazing, singly or combination, functions, but most them mainly concentrated individual functional variables In a field experiment Inner Mongolia, Li et al. (2025) took holistic approach assess multifunctionality under durations ranging from 5 nearly 40 years. They found that presence shrubs substantially enhanced multifunctionality, phenomenon referred as effect. Such was further amplified by which closely linked changes diversity. These results emphasize role microbiota mediating offering possible new angle restoration regions.
