Short summary
Soil coarseness is one of the principle constrains on terrestrial net primary productivity, ecosystem health, and regional economy. In a semi-arid sandy grassland, we conducted a field experiment to investigate the effect of soil coarseness on soil carbon pools, microbial biomass C, N, and P, and C-, N- and P-cycling enzyme activities of β-glucosidase, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, and acid phosphomonoesterase by mixing soil with sand in different proportions of 0, 10, 30, 50, and 70 %.
