Mountains are pivotal to maintaining habitat heterogeneity, global biodiversity, ecosystem
functions and services to humans. They have provided classic model natural systems for …

The soil microbiome comprises one of the most important and complex components of all
terrestrial ecosystems as it harbors millions of microbes including bacteria, fungi, archaea …

Microbial elevational diversity patterns have been extensively studied, but their sha**
mechanisms remain to be explored. Here, we examined soil bacterial and fungal diversity …

Shifts in soil microbial communities over altitudinal gradients and the driving factors are
poorly studied. Their elucidation is indispensable to gain a comprehensive understanding of …

The diversity patterns and drivers of soil microbial communities in altitudinal gradients have
recently received much attention. The rhizosphere is a focus of soil microbial communities …

Soil microbes are directly involved in soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, yet the
importance of microbial biodiversity in regulating the temperature sensitivity of SOC …

Background Soil microorganisms can mediate the occurrence of plant diseases. Potato
