In mountain ecosystems, changes in elevation can lead to alterations in regional microclimates, thereby affecting the distribution and transformation of soil organic carbon (SOC). Mineral-associated organic carbon (MOC) plays a crucial role in preserving SOC. However, research on the distribution of...
