Alpha diversity metrics calculated for (A) bacterial and (B) fungal communities recorded in soil and root samples collected in June, July and August 2014 at the PMM, FFMM, Fire and Mature sites. OTUs represent the number of observed OTUs; the chao1 richness estimator was calculated using the bias-corrected version of the equation; the metrics Pielou and PhyDiv are Pielou’s evenness and Faith’s Phylogenetic diversity indexes, respectively. For the fungal community, PhyDiv was calculated on the phylogenetic tree that only includes OTUs identified as Agaricomycetes. Error bars represent 95% confidence interval around the mean.
