Soil fungi participate in a variety of forest ecological processes and drive the succession of
degraded forests. However, how the soil fungal community and functional taxa change with
stand age remains unclear in subalpine plantations. We established five vegetation survey
plots in four planted Picea asperata forests aged 25, 40, 50 and 75 years and one natural P.
asperata forest aged approximately 200 years in a subalpine region and randomly collected
rhizosphere and bulk soils of two representative P. asperata individuals in each plot for high …
