Community dissimilarity of soil bacteria and fungi within each soil depth (A, B, C, D) and at each sampling location in topsoil (E, F, G, H) and subsoil (I, J, K, L) of an agrosilvopastoral and syntropic alley cropping system near Alt Madlitz, Germany. Community dissimilarity was assessed using pairwise Bray-Curtis distances between individual samples. Dots indicate pairwise Bray-Curtis distances between samples. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences among the six sampling locations within the agrosilvopastoral alley cropping system (Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test; p ≤ 0.05). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the two soil depths across sampling locations (linear mixed effect models; p ≤ 0.05) as well as the two sampling locations within the syntropic alley cropping system (Wilcoxon Rank Sum test; p ≤ 0.05). Absence of letters or asterisks indicates no statistically significant differences between soil depths or sampling locations (p > 0.05). Icons were created with BioRender.com.
