  abstract = {{O}bjectives{A}ltitude integrates changes in environmental conditions that determine shifts in vegetation, including temperature, precipitation, solar radiation and edaphogenetic processes. {I}n turn, vegetation alters soil biophysical properties through litter input, root growth, microbial and macrofaunal interactions. {T}he belowground traits of plant communities modify soil processes in different ways, but it is not known how root traits influence soil biota at the community level. {W}e collected data to investigate how elevation affects belowground community traits and soil microbial and faunal communities. {T}his dataset comprises data from a temperate climate in {F}rance and a twin study was performed in a tropical zone in {M}exico.{D}ata description{T}he paper describes soil physical and chemical properties, climatic variables, plant community composition and species abundance, plant community traits, soil microbial functional diversity and macrofaunal abundance and diversity. {D}ata are provided for six elevations (1400-2400 m) ranging from montane forest to alpine prairie. {W}e focused on soil biophysical properties beneath three dominant plant species that structure local vegetation. {T}hese data are useful for understanding how shifts in vegetation communities affect belowground processes, such as water infiltration, soil aggregation and carbon storage. {D}ata will also help researchers understand how plant communities adjust to a changing climate/environment.},
