Figure 3. Bacterial community differences across T. triandracompartments and timpoints (a) Alpha diversity (effective number of ASVs) across treatments, time, and plant-present versus soil-only pots. (b) Non metric multidimenional scaling (NMDS) plot showing bacterial community composition differences for each sampling treatment. Each point represents a sample, and closer points have more similar communities. Sample library sizes were rarified to 18,738 reads.
