Characteristics of the Bacterial Community in Alpine Meadows in Response to Altitude and Aspect in the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China.

From Table 2 , there were highly significant differences in the effect of altitude on soil bacterial composition, non‐significant differences in the effect of aspect orientation, and non‐significant differences in the effect of the altitude * aspect interaction. 4 Discussion Topographic factors are critical ecological determinants that influence biodiversity distribution patterns, with changes in habitat hydrothermal conditions driven by altitude and aspect orientation (Wang et al. 2022 ).
