(a,b) Two-dimensional principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of bacterial communities based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index, calculated using variance-stabilizing-transformed abundance table. Each point represents one moss sample, and ellipses indicate a 95% bivariate confidence interval. Each ellipse colour represents a moss species (a) or a moss gametophyte section (b). (c) Differences in alpha diversity (Shannon diversity) of moss bacterial communities. Showed are four moss species: P. juniperinum (Nbrown = 24, Ngreen = 22), P. commune (Nbrown = 9, Ngreen = 9), P. piliferum (Nbrown = 26, Ngreen = 26), and D. undulatum (Nbrown = 8, Ngreen = 7). (d) Mean sequence relative abundance by bacterial orders between green (top panel) and brown (bottom panel) gametophyte sections across four moss species.
