Fig. 2From: Pioneer Arabidopsis thaliana spans the succession gradient revealing a diverse root-associated microbiomeBetween-sample (beta) diversity of the root-associated bacterial and fungal communities showing succession class variation. A) NMDS on bacterial between-sample diversity. Dimensions = 3 and Stress = 0.125. B) NMDS of fungal between-sample diversity. Dimensions = 3 and Stress = 0.161. Individual spiders per succession classes with small shapes indicating individual samples and the large shapes the succession class mean. PERMANOVA results are indicated in top of each plot *P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001Back to article page
