•Enzyme activity and stoichiometry were studied along a climate and a vegetation type gradient in subalpine forests.•Climate has little impact on the enzyme activity and stoichiometry.•Vegetation type regulated enzyme activities and stoichiometry by affecting plant-associated microbial communities....
