From: Host species identity, site and time drive temperate tree phyllosphere bacterial community structure
Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination of variation in bacterial community structure of temperate tree phyllosphere. Legend: Ordination based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities among samples. Points represent samples and arrows inside plot margins represent the significant (p < 0.001) correlations between NMDS axes vs. the relative abundances of bacterial classes in communities. Arrows outside plot margins indicate host plant traits and climatic variables with significant (p < 0.007 for functional traits and p < 0.025 for climatic data) correlations with sample scores on each ordination axis
