Altitudinal gradient of microbial biomass phosphorus and its relationship with microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, and rhizosphere soil phosphorus on the eastern slope of Gongga Mountain, SW China.

Microbial biomass phosphorus (MBP) is one of the most active forms of phosphorus (P) in soils. MBP plays an important role in the biogeochemical P cycle. To explore MBP distribution and its relationship with other factors, the MBP and rhizosphere soil P concentrations and fractions in six vegetation...
