Assessing Microbial Diversity in Páramo Soils (Multistrategy Analysis): Effects of Potato Farming and Livestock Grazing in Nevados National Natural Park, Colombia by Lizeth Manuela Avellaneda-Torres, Tomás León Sicard, Edlin Guerra Castro, Esperanza Torres-Rojas

“…The strategy adopted by the arable functional group matrix, in which the diversity of nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and cellulolytic compounds was evaluated, showed the most significant impacts of the different factors (land use, season, and elevation), especially those caused by potato cultivation and livestock. These results indicate that the initial impacts of potato farming and livestock grazing on the microbial community in El Bosque Village are better detected by functional diversity analysis than by molecular analysis of the 16S rRNA gene V5–V6 variable region. …”
