- Soil Microbial Community Characteristics and Influencing Factors in Alpine Marsh Wetlands with Different Degradation Levels in Qilian Mountain National Park, Qinghai, China (2025) · Biology · cited 8× · doi
The gap in knowledge is the understanding of the microbial community characteristics in alpine marsh wetlands with different degradation levels. There is a need to understand how the microbial community changes with degradation. The study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the bacterial community structure and functional characteristics.
