Dramatic increases of soil microbial functional gene diversity at the treeline ecotone of Changbai Mountain
The elevational and latitudinal diversity patterns of microbial taxa have attracted great attention in the past decade. Recently, the distribution of functional attributes has been in the spotlight. Here, we report a study profiling soil microbial communities along an elevation gradient (500 to 2200...
