Diazotrophic alpha-diversity followed an inverted V-shaped pattern along the elevational gradient, influenced by soil temperature and moisture.
NifH gene abundance and soil nitrogenase activity peaked in early growing season, indicating the importance of free-living diazotrophs in N fixation.
Seasonal variances in diazotrophic communities were more notable at lower elevations, linked to legume biomass dynamics affecting nitrogen cycling.
The study emphasizes the intricate relationships between soil microclimate, vegetation, and diazotrophic community dynamics in fragile ecosystems.
