Bar plot of significant differential abundance taxa on phylum and genus level for ASVs over 0.5% relative abundance. The cutoff was based on an ASV having > 0.5% in at least one sample. (a) Bar plot on phylum level for 2013 and 2017 in November at the three different sites (n = 3), R1-3 are the different replicates of each site. (b) Bar plot on genus level shown for 2013 and 2017 in November at the three different sites (n = 3), R1-3 are the different replicates of each site. (c) Changes in average (n = 3) relative abundance of the shallow site on the highest significant changed taxa; shown are year 2013 (beige) and 2017 (dark beige) within five different genera. (d) Changes on average (n = 3) relative abundance of the intermediate site on the highest significant changed taxa; shown are year 2013 (beige) 2017 (dark beige) within five different genera. (e) Changes on average (n = 3) relative abundance of the deep site on the highest significant changed taxa; shown are year 2013 (beige) and 2017 (dark beige) within five different genera; Error bars show the mean and standard deviations.
