However, the standardized metric did not show an apparent trend with elevation that was different from that of MNTD, which indicated that the generated random effects greatly impacted the elevational pattern of the phylogenetic structure ( Figure 5C ).

The sentences
In this study, we investigated soil bacterial biodiversity along the elevation of 2000–2500 m in Changbai Mountain tundra to address the following questions: (1) if there is a significant trend in bacterial diversity along this small-scale elevational gradient, (2) what environmental factors are closely related to bacterial community composition in tundra soils with similar pH.
