Résumé
Tangel humus primarily occurs in montane and subalpine zones of the calcareous Alps that exhibit low temperatures and high precipitation sums. This humus form is characterized by inhibited carbon turnover and accumulated organic matter, leading to the typical thick organic layers. However, the reason for this accumulation of organic matter is still unclear, and knowledge about the microbial community within Tangel humus is lacking. Therefore, we investigated the prokaryotic and fungal communities along with the physical and chemical properties within a depth gradient (0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 cm) of a Tangel humus located in the Northern Limestone Alps. We hypothesized that humus properties and microbial activity, biomass, and diversity differ along the depth gradient and that microbial key players refer to certain humus depths. Our results give the first comprehensive information about microbiota within the Tangel humus and establish a microbial zonation of the humus. Microbial activity, biomass, as well as microbial alpha diversity significantly decreased with increasing depths. We identified microbial biomarkers for both, the top and the deepest depth, indicating different, microbial habitats. The microbial characterization together with the established nutrient deficiencies in the deeper depths might explain reduced C-turnover and Tangel humus formation.
