Soil microbes play a fundamental role in maintaining nutrient biogeochemical cycles. To understand the distribution of soil bacterial communities on grassland plateaus, high-throughput sequencing was used to compare bacterial communities in soils from swamp meadows (SM), alpine meadows (AM), alpine...
