Abstract in brief

At deeper soil layers (10-20cm), bacterial diversity remained stable with altitude, but fungal diversity showed a peak at around 1200m, indicating different responses of microbes based on soil depth and type.
The distribution of bacteria and fungi was distinct along altitudinal gradients, with fungi showing more variation due to higher turnover rates.
Environmental factors like soil chemistry and climate significantly influenced microbial communities, with a new phylogenetic null model revealing that both soil and climate heterogeneity impact the assembly and diversity of these soil microbes.]
