Abstract
The polar regions, comprising the Antarctic, Arctic and Tibetan Plateau, represent the most extreme environments on Earth. Soils across the polar regions harbor diverse microorganisms, which dominate the biogeochemical cycling. However, polar soil microbial diversity is largely underrepresented, and has not been directly compared with the non-polar regions at a global scale, which hinders our understanding of the potential importance of polar microbial diversity. In this study, we investigated the global microbial diversity and taxonomy by comparing 1114 soils, derived from the Antarctic (203), Arctic (432), Tibetan Plateau (104) and non-polar regions (375) across all continents. Soil microbial diversity was found to increase gradually from the Antarctic
