Asynchronous patterns in soil bacterial diversity and functional potentials along an alpine altitudinal gradient

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: Discussion: This study characterizes the altitudinal distribution of soil bacteria and explores their covariations, enhancing the understanding of soil bacterial diversity and functional potentials along altitudinal gradients and providing valuable insights for predicting community changes and improving alpine ecosystem conservation. The authors investigated the distribution of soil bacterial communities using high-throughput sequencing along an altitudinal gradient in Balang Mountain on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The authors focused on predicted functional potentials rather than measured soil functions, as the former is more directly connected to soil bacteria, while the latter can be influenced . . .
