a Relative abundance of the twenty major prokaryotic phyla in the different seasons. A, Autumn; W, Winter; Sp, Spring; S, Summer. b Comparison of alpha diversity metrics (Shannon index) between samples throughout the different seasons. c Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between samples throughout the different seasons.
