Disentangling Large- and Small-Scale Abiotic and Biotic Factors Shaping Soil Microbial Communities in an Alpine Cushion Plant System.

Finally, there was a marginally significant habitat × cushion interaction ( P Habitat × Cushion < 0.1), due to a tendency in both mountain ranges for lower bacterial diversity in the open than below cushions in the tight cushion habitats and the converse in the loose cushion habitats.

There was a highly significant site effect on the Shannon index of bacterial communities, due to slightly higher diversity in the Qilian Mountains than in the Tianshan Mountains ( P S ite < 0.001, Figure 2A ).

There was also a weakly significant site × habitat interaction, due to lower bacterial diversity in the tight than in the loose habitat in the Tianshan Mountains only ( P Site × Habitat < 0.05, Figure 2A ).
