Fig. 1: Post-fire shifts in microbiome diversity and composition.

From: Elevated methane flux in a tropical peatland post-fire is linked to depth-dependent changes in peat microbiome assembly

Fig. 1

a Archaea-to-Bacteria ratio increased significantly in deep peat post-fire (Pairwise t test, t: 5.88, p < 0.001), indicating a shift in relative abundances. b No significant difference was observed in archaeal diversity post-fire across any depth. c Bacterial diversity significantly decreased in deep peat post-fire (Pairwise t test, t: -4.05, p = 0.006). a–c Show four independent biological replicates per group. Significance is expressed as ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. Canonical analysis of principle coordinates of surface, mid, and deep peat show shifts in (d) archaeal and (e) bacterial communities after fire. Symbols in (d, e) represent community centroids for each depth with 95% confidence ellipses (n = 4 for all groups).
