Dramatic Increases of Soil Microbial Functional Gene Diversity at the Treeline Ecotone of Changbai Mountain.

Alpha and Beta Diversity Patterns At the taxonomic and phylogenetic level, the alpha diversity of bacterial communities (randomly selected 4,000 sequences per sample) did not show an apparent trend along the elevation gradient ( Figure 3 ), which is consistent with our previous results (454 data in Shen et al., 2013 ).
