Contrasting Patterns and Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities between Two Ecosystems Divided by the Treeline

The treeline is a sensitive region of the terrestrial ecosystem responding to climate change. However, studies on the composition and formation mechanisms of soil fungal communities across the treeline are still lacking. In this study, we investigated the patterns of soil fungal community compositio...
