Figure 4: Biplot generated by canonical redundancy analysis (RDA) illustrating the effects of environmental factors on the PLFA concentrations of sediment microbial groups at the five sampling sites at Zhanjiang, China.
From: Mangrove succession enriches the sediment microbial community in South China
Data for sediment and vegetation properties were from Chen et al.39 SOM = sediment organic matter; AN = sediment ammonium nitrogen; AP = sediment available phosphorus; AK = sediment available potassium; PD = plant density of mangrove; PH = plant height of mangrove. Abbreviations for PFLA concentrations: T = total microbial community; B = bacteria; F = fungi; A = actinomycetes; G+ = gram-positive bacteria; G− = gram-negative bacteria; G+/G− = ratio of gram-positive to gram-negative bacteria; F/B = ratio of fungi to bacteria.
