  1. Analyses were carried out using ANOSIM analysis with R Vegan package. Correlation (r) and significance (P) values are shown for OTU-based and phylogenetic-based distances. Significance values for factors significant at the P < 0.05 level are in Bold.
  2. *Fire means the effect of fire whether it was burned or not, while freq fire separates the treatment of two years burning from other two treatments.
