Reseeding and fertilization are common ecological restoration measures in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Region for degraded grasslands, yet their impacts on rhizospheric bacterial communities remain unclear. This study utilized high-throughput sequencing technology to systematically investigate the characteristics of rhizospheric soil bacterial communities in degraded high-altitude grasslands managed with reseeding and fertilization. The results indicated a significant decrease in the Shannon and Simpson indices with fertilization treatment, while the reseeding + fertilization treatment exhibited the most pronounced impact on community structure. Actinomycetota, Pseudomonadota, and Acidobacteriota were the dominant phyla in the rhizosphere bacterial community. There was a decrease in network complexity and an increase in stability within bacterial communities with the reseeding, fertilization, and fertilization + reseeding treatments. The networks were predominantly characterized by positive correlations after fertilization, reseeding, and fertilization + reseeding treatments, involving key species like Pseudomonadota, Actinomycetota, and Acidobacteriota. Mantel tests revealed that soil total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), available potassium (AK), and nitrate nitrogen (NO-N) were the key environmental factors in driving bacterial community composition. The study of the rhizosphere soil bacterial community in alpine degraded grassland can provide a theoretical basis for tailored management strategies in the restoration of degraded high-altitude grasslands and lays a scientific foundation for their conservation.

The key to restoring arid and semi-arid ecosystems is maintaining soil water and organic carbon contents. Alfalfa ( L.) is a high-yield perennial forage crop and performs ecological functions as a drought-resistance leguminous herb.

Introduction: Grassland degradation has seriously affected the ecological environment and human livelihood. To abate these, implementing effective management strategies to restore and improve the service functions and productivity of degraded grasslands is crucial.
Methods: To evaluate the influences of restoration measures combined with different grazing intensities on short-term (1 year) grassland restoration, the changes in soil physicochemical properties, as well as plant traits under restoration measures of different grazing intensities, reseeding, and fertilization, were analyzed.

Healthy soils are key to sustainability and food security. In temperate grasslands, not many studies have focused on soil health comparisons between contrasting pasture systems under different management strategies and treatment applications (e.g.
