CO2-fixing by soil autotrophic microbes is as important as by plants in semi-arid and arid ecosystems, such as the Tibetan Plateau grassland. CO2-fixing microbial community characteristics, capacity and their driving environmental factors remain unclear. Here we investigated the autotrophic microbial community in grassland surface soils on the Tibetan Plateau using molecular methods targeting the large subunit gene (cbbL) of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. The CO2fixation capacity was assessed by the13CO2probing method. The results showed that soil autotrophic microbial abundance substantially increased from desert, steppe to meadow. The autotrophic abundance significantly increased with enhancing mean annual precipitation (MAP), soil ammonium concentration and aboveground plant biomass (APB). Forms IAB and IC autotrophic microbial communities strongly varied with grassland types. Variation partitioning analysis revealed that the structure variations were mainly explained by MAP and aridity, which explained 4.2% and 2.6% for the IAB community, and 7.6% and 8.5% for the IC community. Desert and steppe soils exhibited significantly higher atmospheric13CO2fixation rate than meadow soils (29 versus 18 mg kg−1soil d−1). The13CO2fixation rate negatively correlated with APB and soil ammonium concentration, demonstrating the substantially important role of autotrophic microbes in oligotrophic soils. Form IAB autotrophs were phylogenetically affiliated withCyanobacteria. Form IC autotrophs were affiliated withRhizobialesandActinobacteria, the former gradually increased and the latter decreased from desert, steppe to meadow. Our findings offer new insight into the importance of MAP in driving soil autotrophic microbial community and highlight microbial roles in carbon cycling in dryland ecosystems.
