Stacked barcharts depicting the relative abundance of different phyla in (a) Australian soils and (b) global soils based on reads for the single-copy ribosomal protein gene rplP. Alpha diversity is shown as observed and estimated richness (Chao1) in (c) Australian soils and (d) global soils. Boxplots show median, lower and upper quartile, and minimum and maximum values. This is based on four biological replicates for the four Australian soils (n = 16) at depths of 0-5, 5-10, 15-20, and 25-30 cm, and biological triplicates for the eight global soils (n = 24). For beta diversity, abundance-based distance matrix Bray-Curtis diversity is visualized on a multidimensional PcoA plot for both Australian and global soils. Testing for significant differences in community structure between depths and ecosystems was performed using a one-way PERMANOVA with 999 permutations.
