Fig. 5

Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of prokaryotic (a, stress = 0.077) and fungal (b, stress = 0.13) communities in tailings using Bray–Curtis distances and subsequent fitting of environmental variables (p ≤ 0.05) significantly associated with the distribution of samples in the ordination space. Treatments: tailings (T), tailings with added compost (TC), tailings with a plant (TP), tailings with a plant and added compost (TPC), tailings with a plant inoculated with endophytes (TPE) and tailings with a plant inoculated with endophytes and added compost (TPEC)
