2. Mean relative abundance of major bacterial phyla across plant-present
pots within T. triandra compartments over time. (a) Compartment
and timpeoint included were the initial soil sampling period, soils at
plant harvest, T. triandra rhizospheres at plant harvest, andT. triandra endospheres at plant harvest. Treatments include
sterilisation (live, sterile), soil aridity (high, low aridity soils),
and watering regime (water-stress as red text labels, control as blue
text labels). Note: we did not sequence viable DNA from sterilised low
aridity soils. (b) Differential abundance analysis comparing changes in
phyla within each timpoint and compartment across treatments. Each
category compares differences to a reference group (the high aridity,
live, control soil treatment). Log fold changes for the reference groups
identify differences from the grandmean of each phyla.
