Table 1 PERMANOVA testing for the effects of symbiotic groups, plant family, and plant species on community composition. Tests were conducted on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities of bacterial and fungal OTU communities with the primary symbiont OTUs removed. For the term “Symbiotic Group” three different contrasts testing all possible combinations of factor levels of symbiotic groups against each other were performed (a, b, c)
