英文摘要Aims In water-limited areas, shrubs influence biological soil crust (biocrust) composition and diversity via soil microenvironment alterations and through modifying biotic interactions amongst biocrust taxa. However, the relative contributions of shrubs to biocrust succession and assembly via the biotic and abiotic influences are poorly known. Methods The community composition of biocrusts and soil properties in the interspace and beneath the dominant shrub (Artemisia ordosica) along a biocrust succession sequence were investigated. Biocrust interspecific interactions at a small scale (within shrub) were evaluated based on the co-occurrence pattern using null models. A hypothetical multigroup structural equation model (SEM) was proposed to evaluate the influence of multiple variables on the biocrust richness and to investigate the path variance between successional stages. Results Along the biocrust succession, shrubs significantly increased the size of bare soil gap by 489%, decreased lichens by 43% and increased soil organic matter by 13%. In years 18, 31and 37, the paths in SEM explained 59% of the variation in richness, only the effect of abiotic amelioration was significant (0.62). In years 54 and 62, the shrubs had direct (0.37) and indirect effect (0.10) via species interaction to biocrust richness. Conclusions Shrubs directly and indirectly affected the community assembly of biocrusts. Biocrust species interactions are an important driver of biocrust diversity and primarily affect late succession. The increasing influences of shrubs suggests a close relationship between shrub and biocrust components in arid or semiarid ecosystems, with shrubs playing an important role in regulating biocrust assembly and maintaining biocrust richness.
