This research aimed to understand the seasonal variations in soil denitrification rates and the microbial mechanisms influencing them across altitudes in alpine forests.
Assessed potential denitrification rates using 15N-labeling techniques.
Analyzed denitrifier communities through high-throughput sequencing.
Examined soil properties across an elevational gradient in alpine forest mountains.
Soil denitrification rates decreased with elevation, lower in the wet season than in the dry season.
Key soil substrates, including nitrogen types, regulated denitrification in the dry season.
Microbial attributes were crucial for denitrification during the wet season, with Bradyrhizobium as the dominant genus.
