Effects of hummock–hollow microtopography on soil microbial communities and their links to soil carbon cycling in a sedge peatland of the Changbai mountains
Key Points
Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in soil carbon cycling, influencing carbon storage in peatlands.
Microtopography affects the diversity and function of microbial communities, with hummocks and hollows showing distinct characteristics.
Assessment reveals how variations in landscape position impact carbon processing and soil health in sedimentary environments.
Findings emphasize the importance of microtopography in ecological management and conservation strategies for peatlands.
