Wetland ecosystems, recognized as important carbon sinks, face challenges due to climate change. Although wetland soil microorganisms play a major role in the wetland carbon cycle, the mechanisms influencing their spatial distribution remain elusive. Here, we investigate the impact of soil propertie...
