Figure 3

Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination plot of bacterial community structure comparing 10-year post-ginseng rotation soil (RS) and soil in which no ginseng was grown (CS) before ginseng planting. (a) unweighted and (b) weighted UniFrac distance matrix. (c) PCA (principal component analysis) of bacterial community structure. (d) PLS-DA (partial least squares discriminant analysis) of bacterial community structure. The shorter the distance between two points, the higher the similarity of the microbial community structure between the two groups.
