Shift in taxonomic and functional diversity of bulk soil and rhizosphere-associated bacterial communities along the soil toposequence of Montiers. Multivariate analyses were performed at the phylum level for the 16S rRNA gene libraries (A and B) and at the subcategory level for the GeoChip microarray (C and D). For both approaches, multivariate analyses were conducted separately on bulk soil (BS) and rhizosphere (Rh) samples. The origins of samples are indicated as follows: filled orange squares, bulk soil samples from Calcaric; open orange squares, rhizosphere samples from Calcaric; filled green circles, bulk soil samples from Eutric, open green circles, rhizosphere samples from Eutric; filled blue triangles, bulk soil samples from Hyperdystric; open blue triangles, rhizosphere samples from Hyperdystric. Ellipses correspond to 95% confidence intervals about the mean.
