摘要	Alpine wetland is a natural laboratory for studying the Earth's third polar ecosphere. Protist communities are key components of wetland ecosystems which are extremely vulnerable to environmental change. It is of great importance to study the protist community in relation to environment, which might be the key to understand the ecosystem of the alpine wetlands under global change. In this study, we investigated the composition of protist communities across the Mitika Wetland, a unique alpine wetland hosting tremendous endemic diversity. Using 18S rRNA gene highthroughput sequencing, we evaluated how protist taxonomic and functional group composition is structured by seasonal climate and environmental variation. We found a high relative abundance of Ochrophyta, Ciliophora, and Cryptophyta, each of which showcased a unique spatial pattern in the wet and dry seasons. The proportion of consumers, parasites and phototrophs groups were stable among the functional zones and also between the seasons, with consumers dominating communities in terms of richness, while phototrophic taxa dominated in terms of relative abundance. Protist and each functional group were rather regulated by deterministic than stochastic processes, with water quality having a strong control on communities. Salinity and pH were the most important environmental factors at shaping protistan community. The protist co-occurrence network dominated by the positive edge indicating the communities resisted extreme environmental conditions through close cooperation, and more consumers were determined as the keystones in wet season and more phototrophic taxa in dry season. Our results provided the baseline of the protist taxonomic and functional group composition in the highest wetland, and highlighted environmental selections drive protist distribution, implying the alpine wetland ecosystem are sensitive to climate changes and human activities.
