Despite their symbiotic relationship with trees and the vital role as decomposer in forest, soil fungi received limited attention regarding their changes with altitude in forest ecosystems. This study aimed to determine the diversity patterns of soil fungi along an altitudinal gradient on Mt. Shegyla, a typical forest ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau.
