Financial support for this project was provided by the NWO-ALW Open Programme research grant (821.01.016) awarded to E. Smets and J. Geml and the Naturalis personal research budgets of J. Geml and L. Morgado. The experimental work is largely supported by NSF grants OPP AON 0856728 and OPP IPY ITEX 0632184 awarded to JM Welker. The authors thank the staff of the Toolik Field Station for logistical support, and Marcel Eurlings and Elza Duijm (Naturalis Biodiversity Center) for conducting the Ion Torrent sequencing. The authors are grateful to Todd O'Hara and Perry S. Barboza (University of Alaska Fairbanks) for providing equipment and assistance to lyophilize the large quantities of soil samples. The authors are also thankful for the insightful comments to an earlier version of the paper by two anonymous reviewers.
