Succession Characteristics of Soil Microbial Communities Along Elevational Gradients in the Lhasa River Basin and Analysis of Environmental Driving Factors by Xiaoyu Li, Xiangyang Sun, Baosheng An, Suyan Li, Jiule Li, Chuanfei Wang

“…On the other hand, soil conductivity, along with available and total phosphorus levels, as well as pH, plays a key role in shaping fungal communities. (5) Functional prediction analysis suggests that soil bacteria shift from aerobic and biofilm-forming to facultatively anaerobic, stress-tolerant, and pathogenic traits with increasing elevation. …”
