Fig. 2: Taxonomic composition of bacteria, microeukaryotic plankton, metazoa and fungi detected in ESB samples from 1991 to 2021.
From: Archived natural DNA samplers reveal four decades of biodiversity change across the tree of life
Taxonomic composition is based on OTU occurrence and is shown for five time periods, each spanning several consecutive years per sampling type. Community composition is shown at phylum level for bacteria, microeukaryotic plankton and aquatic metazoans. Terrestrial metazoans are shown at order level and fungi at class level. Taxonomic groups are represented by different colour palettes. Icons refer to sampled species.
