Fig. 5

Alpha diversities estimators of microbial communities in each environment. a The Chao1 indices, ACE indices, Shannon indices, and observed OTUs box plots of α-diversity estimators for groups AS-RU, OY-RU, OYS, OYT, and SW-RU. The line in the middle of the box, top and bottom of the box, and whiskers represent the median, 25 and 75 percentiles, and min-to-max values, respectively. Error bars represent standard deviations of triplicate samples. b p-values for Shannon and Chao1 indices obtained using analysis of variance followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison tests. The red backgrounds represent pairs with p-values < 0.05.
