Contrasting Responses of Rhizosphere Bacteria, Fungi and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Along an Elevational Gradient in a Temperate Montane Forest of China

Elevational gradients strongly affect microbial biodiversity in bulk soil through altering plant and soil properties, but the effects on rhizosphere microbial patterns remain unclear, especially at large spatial scales. We therefore designed an elevational gradient experiment to examine rhizosphere...
