Fig. 4: Compiled paired ratios of functional parameters and compositional (relative) abundance in biocrusts across plaque boundaries (circles), red bars denoting the medians for each group of ratios, and bar background color denoting the p-values that the median is significantly different from unity (Wilcoxon paired ratio two-sided tests), where gray is non-significant (p > 0.1), light orange is 0.05 > p < 0.1, medium orange is 0.05 > p < 0.005 and dark orange is p < 0.005.

Exact p-values can be found in Supplementary Tables 4, 8, 9 and 10. TOC, TIC, TON and TIN stand for total organic carbon, total inorganic carbon, total organic nitrogen and total inorganic nitrogen, respectively. EPS stands for exopolysaccharide. n = number of biologically independent paired samples; absolute values are provided in Tables S4, S8–S10 and raw data are provided as a Source Data file.
