Abstract: The present study focuses on the variation in soil properties and microbial biomass carbon along an elevation gradient in the Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh. Soil was acidic in nature and pH value ranges from 4.37 ± 0.14 to 5.25 ± 0.29. Soil texture varied from sandy to loamy sand. Clay content and available potassium showed a significant negative correlation (p
