Heatmap displaying top 15 bacterial classes (Y-axis) defined from (a) sites at 4 distinct ecological status of mangroves and from (b) established mangrove grass rhizospheres from the semi-restored site (all in columns). The relative 16S gene abundance is shown in a 1–15% scale with three color variants. 16S gene read abundances with more than 5% are in the blue gradient and below 5% are in the red gradient. The heatmap was built on different biosamples’ reads from each ecological state which are included in the NCBI Bioprojects (X-axis).
