Abstract Eight soil samples from different elevations were collected in Guandi Mountain, Shanxi Province. We measured soil organic and liable carbon, total nitrogen, carbon mineralization and microbial populations (including bacteria, fungi, actinomyces, azotobacter, nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria) along an altitude gradient. The results showed that the highest soil organic and liable carbon 1(LC1) at an altitude of 2163m were 74.41 and 6.72g/kg, respectively. The highest total nitrogen was 6.54g/kg at 2700m altitude. Both the accumulation and rate of soil carbon mineralization increased significant with the increase of altitude. There was a significantly positive correlation between soil carbon mineralization and liable carbon 2 (LC2). At an altitude of 1791m, the most populations of bacteria, actinomyces and azotobacter were 3.41×106, 1.90×106 and 1.21×106 cfu/g, respectively, however, there were the lowest nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria (4.05×103 and 1.79×103 cfu/g, respectively). Soil bacteria, fungi, actinomyces and azotobacter demonstrated significantly negative correlations with an altitude. However, both soil nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria were positively correlated with the altitude and total nitrogen. In summary, soil organic and liable carbon, total nitrogen, carbon mineralization accumulation, nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria increased along an altitudinal gradient, however, the contrary patterns were demonstrated among bacteria, fungi, actinomyces and azotobacter.
