Characteristics of <i>Pinus hwangshanensis</i> Rhizospheric Fungal Community along Huangshan Mountain's Elevation Gradients, China.

ABSTRACT: Elevation gradients strongly influence the diversity pattern of soil microorganisms. To date, many studies have elucidated the response of soil microbes to changes in elevation gradients. However, the effects of these gradients on the assembly mechanisms and network complexity of rhizospheric microbial communities remain underexplored. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study assessed the response of rhizospheric fungal communities of Pinus hwangshanensis along different elevation gradients in the Huangshan Mountain scenic area with regard to diversity, community composition, and assembly mechanisms using high-throughput amplicon sequencing. The results revealed significant differences in rhizospheric fungal community composition across three elevation gradients. The soil organic ma
