Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot based on the Jaccard dissimilarity index. The plot displays the spatial distribution of each sequenced sample using different primer sets, highlighting the differences in community composition retrieved by each primer set. Each point is categorised by its distance to the coast and corresponding transect (see detailed legend in the figure). Closer points indicate more similar communities, while points further apart indicate greater dissimilarity. The dashed clusters were defined without statistical basis for the purpose of better interpreting the image.
