Fig. 3: Microbial community composition and abundance along the geothermal gradient.
From: Quantifying thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration
a Alpha diversity of ASV richness (Chao1), b phylogenetic diversity, reported as Faith’s Phylogenetic Diversity (PD), c beta diversity, estimated from the first principal coordinates axis (PC1) of the unweighted UniFrac analysis, and d total bacterial biomass. In all panels, points represent separate samples collected from along the geothermal gradient and are coloured by pH, which is strongly correlated with mean environmental temperature (Fig. S3). Data represented in panels (a–c) are from the 16S rRNA gene community analysis, while data from panel d represents the sum of bacterial Phospholipid Fatty Acids. Total microbial biomass (fungal + bacterial) can be found in Fig. S2.
