ABSTRACT Elevation changes influence various environmental factors including cloudiness, atmospheric density, and temperature. Previous studies on the effects of elevation microbial communities soil organic carbon (SOC) yielded inconsistent results. This study tried to reveal distribution patterns SOC concentrations, as well their interactions with structure along an elevational gradient in alpine region. We investigated six typical ecosystems north‐eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis X‐ray computed tomography (CT) methods were used quantify abundance pore soils, respectively. The results demonstrated that content total PLFAs peaked meadow ecosystem. In subsoil, PLFAs, fungal, bacterial followed U‐shape pattern increasing elevation. both topsoils subsoils, surface area density pores increased elevation, it was found be positively correlated abundance. Soil mainly affects input adsorption root nutrients by altering area, thereby regulating enrichment microorganisms. impact microbes more obvious topsoil than subsoil. Interactions among structure, properties, jointly communities, demonstrating indirectly through resource regulation.
