NMDS ordination based on sequencing rRNA genes from of prokaryotic (A–D) and eukaryotic (E–H) communities within each of the four habitat-depth combinations sampled: (A,E) Bog-5 cm, (B,F) Fen-5 cm, (C,G) Bog-20 cm, and (D,H) Fen-20 cm. All samples taken from a given core are connected to form polygons. Arrows depict the results of ‘envfit’ analyses. OTUs assigned to the following phyla were excluded from the eukaryotic dataset prior to analysis: Holozoa, Metazoa, Chloroplastida and ‘Unassigned’.
