Soil microorganisms drive the biogeochemical process of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur, and play a key role in maintaining soil carbon sink and ecosystem function. The study on effects of environmental and spatial factors on the structure of microbial community in boreal coniferous forest soil will provide theoretical basis for making management measures in local forest ecosystem. Our research analyzed five soil fungi communities (LpMC1, LpMC2, PwMC, PtMC, and BMC) in four forest types, including forest, forest, forest and spp.

The relative importance of those two processes differs across scales, community identities, and community types. The processes responsible for structuring microbial communities in soil of temperate subalpine forest are poorly understood.
