(A) Nonmetric multidimensional scaling of the bacterial (top row of figures) and fungal (bottom row of figures) communities recorded in soil and root samples, performed at the class level between the four sites and (B) extended error bar plots of the genera which abundances are significantly different (P < 0.05 and effect size >1) between PMM and FFMM/Mature/Fire. Bacterial and fungal genera are sorted by effect size. The 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Welch’s t-test. Bar plots represent the mean abundance of the reads in each pair of groups (PMM with FFMM/Mature/Fire).
