Effects of forest conversion on soil microbial communities depend on soil layer on the eastern Tibetan Plateau of China.

Forest land-use changes have long been suggested to profoundly affect soil microbial communities. However, how forest type conversion influences soil microbial properties remains unclear in Tibetan boreal forests. The aim of this study was to explore variations of soil microbial profiles in the surf...
