Phylogenetic organisation, genome structure and host range (a) of the five phyla of RNA viruses within the Riboviria realm, based on RdRP multiple sequence alignments (adapted from Wolf et al. [16]). Grey host icons indicate limited known numbers of viruses infecting these hosts. Viral contigs from three independent samples of five contrasting soil types along an altitudinal primary productivity gradient were classified into one of these five phyla and relative abundances calculated from CPM values of mapped reads (b). Pisuviricota remain broadly similar between samples whilst Lenarviricota and Kitrinoviricota increase and decrease in proportion respectively, moving from upland to coastal sampling sites.
