Soil depth exerts greater effect on bacterial community than spatial structure in Longmenshan fault zone
Soil water content served as the main driver of changes in surface soil bacterial diversity and community. Spatial structure had a greater influence on surface soil bacterial communities and diversity. Soil depth had a significantly higher effect on soil bacterial community composition and network properties than site. Our results may provide insights into the impact of microbial functions on biodiversity and ecosystem service functions.
