Community structure of bacterial community in the Muztag ata glacier.

Caption

The community structure variations are visualized based on the Bray- Curtis dissimilarity of bacterial community at the family-level, following Hellinger transformation. Panel (a) shows the hierarchical clustering using complete linkage approach, panel (b) shows the principal component ordination plot with the quadrants labelled, panel (c) shows the distance-based linear modelling

results and the axes are labelled based on human influence (inferred from NH4+ and rBC patterns) and temperature (inferred from δ18O pattern).
