Locations of the sampling sites in a typical dryland ecosystem of northwest China. Our sampling scheme was designed to explore the patterns of bacterial and fungal β-diversity, which spans dry-subhumid, semi-arid and arid ecosystems, as demonstrated in the legend. The vegetation dataset was provided by the Data Center for Resources and Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (RESDC) (http://www.resdc.cn), and the maps were created using ArcGIS 10 (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis).
