Diversity and feeding strategies of soil microfauna along elevation gradients in Himalayan cold deserts.
High-elevation cold deserts in Tibet and Himalaya are one of the most extreme environments. One consequence is that the diversity of macrofauna in this environment is often limited, and soil microorganisms have a more influential role in governing key surface and subsurface bioprocesses. High-elevat...
