Bacterial community of cushion plant Thylacospermum ceaspitosum on elevational gradient in the Himalayan cold desert.

Results The response of the bacterial assemblages to environmental factors The combined effect of elevation, cushion habitat, and soil physico-chemical parameters on composition of bacterial assemblages derived from CE-SSCP profiles explained 55.2% of the total data variation in Nubra, which was highly significant (db-RDA, P < 0.001).

Variance partitioning confirmed the overwhelming effect of elevation, explaining solely 14.8% variation ( F = 2.5, P = 0.048), but also significant was the net effect of the cushion (4.2%, F = 1.9, P = 0.042), and marginally significant the elevation × cushion interaction (9%, F = 1.3, P = 0.096).

A decreasing trend was observed for both soil environments in Tso Moriri (Figure 4 , Table 1 ).
