Belowground responses to elevation in a changing cloud forest. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 AbstractFew studies have investigated how soil fungal communities respond to elevation, especially within TMCF (tropical montane cloud forests). We used an elevation gradient in a TMCF in Costa Rica to determine how soil properties, processes, and community composition of fungi change in response to elevation and across seasons. As elevation increased,
