Elevation gradients could provide natural experiments to examine geomorphological influences on biota ecology and evolution, however little is known about microbial community structures with soil depths along altitudinal gradients in karst graben basin of Yunnan-Kweichow Plateau. Here, bulk soil in A layer (0 ~ 10 cm) and B layer (10 ~ 20 cm) from two transect Mounts were analyzed by using high-throughput sequencing coupled with physicochemical analysis. It was found that the top five phyla in A layer were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Verrucomicrobia, and the top five phyla in B layer were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, and Chloroflexi in a near-neutral environment.

- The study investigates how different land uses (natural wetland, paddy field, and dry land) affect soil bacteria in the Huixian karst wetland by analyzing topsoil samples for bacterial diversity and community structure using high-throughput sequencing.
- The results indicate that the soil bacteria identified comprise 49 phyla and 145 classes, with significant variability in diversity, particularly higher Shannon index values in paddy fields and lower Simpson index values in natural wetlands.
- Additionally, dominant phyla and classes differ across land uses, with environmental factors like pH and soil nutrients influencing bacterial community structures across the different land types.
