A Permafrost sample locations overlayed onto a map showing mean annual ground temperature (MAGT) [46]. Map used with permission. B Relative abundance of bacterial and archaeal phyla across permafrost samples. C Unimodal relationship between Shannon diversity and permafrost pH. Different colors/shapes represent different locations. R2 = 0.06, p = 0.019. Shannon diversity at the class level = 2.945 - 0.116*pH - 0.0668*(pH-6.933)2. With Vault Creek Tunnel outlier samples excluded R2 = 0.14, p < 0.0001.
