Composition of soil fungal communities and microbial activity along an elevational gradient in Mt. Jiri, Republic of Korea by Ana Mitcov, Daegeun Ko, Kwanyoung Ko, Jaeho Kim, Neung-Hwan Oh, Hyun Seok Kim, Hyeyeong Choe, Haegeun Chung

“…Elevational gradients induce changes in soil properties, vegetation, and climate factors such as temperature and precipitation, all of which impact soil microbial communities and altogether create a mutually reinforcing system. Hence, inspection of elevation-based microbial communities can aid in inferring ecosystem properties, specifically those related to nutrient cycling, and can partly help assess the oncoming direct and indirect effects of climate change.…”
