Establishing perennial cultivated grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau helps address seasonal imbalance of forage resources and supports restoration degraded grasslands. The most common planting patterns-monocropping mixed cropping-are well-studied in terms vegetation structure, productivity, soil nutrients. Despite their significance, influence prolonged practices underground microbial communities metabolites has often been neglected. In this study, two characteristic plants, Festuca sinensis 'Qinghai' Poa pratensis 'Qinghai', from area around Qinghai Lake were selected as experimental subjects by employing 16 S ITS sequencing methods conjunction with non-targeted metabolomics analysis. effects patterns (monocropping cropping) rhizosphere characteristics, community structure examined. results showed that compared monocropping, cropping significantly increased contents nutrients key metabolites. addition, it had a greater impact fungal diversity than bacterial diversity, particularly β-diversity. While α-diversity dominant phyla remained stable, fungi more responsive to changes properties These show new niche differentiation between different species grassland stimulates secretion trehalose valine, which further affects enhances ecological functions findings will guide selection strategies improve local sustainable productivity.
