To explore how altered precipitation affects denitrifying microbial communities and nitrogen cycling in alpine wetlands.
Conducted precipitation manipulation with five gradients (ambient, ±25%, ±50%)
Utilized high-throughput sequencing for community assessment
Analyzed community shifts using bioinformatics tools
Investigated soil pH and carbon fractions as environmental filters
Examined ecological processes governing community assembly
Extreme wetting increased within-group heterogeneity of communities
Proteobacteria dominated across all precipitation treatments
Extreme drought suppressed Planctomycetes
Reduced precipitation enhanced nitrogen fixation potential
Increased precipitation favored nitrate respiration
