Bacterial richness (number of ASVs) ranged from 328 to 1,141 among the samples, exhibiting a positive trend with increasing altitude (Pearson’s r = 0.378, p = 0.023; Figure 1A and Supplementary Table S2 ).
Bacterial richness (number of ASVs) ranged from 328 to 1,141 among the samples, exhibiting a positive trend with increasing altitude (Pearson’s r = 0.378, p = 0.023; Figure 1A and Supplementary Table S2 ).
Our findings reveal an increasing trend in both bacterial taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity with altitude, accompanied by a general decreasing trend in co-occurrence network connectivity.
