Fig. 3: Co-occurrence network depicting interactions between bacterial and archaeal ASVs in the Saanich Inlet microbiome.

In panel a gray lines depict negative covariance and green lines depict positive covariance with ρ > |0.60|. Node size represents intranetwork connectivity (Kin) and shapes indicate subnetwork assignments determined by WGCNA. Squares, triangles, and circles represent taxa belonging to SNET1, SNET2, and SNET3, respectively, and are highlighted by colored circles. Taxonomic assignments are represented by colored nodes. Panel b depicts relationships between node (ASV) degree, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality determined through analysis of the propr network. Individual ASVs implicated by sPLSR (Fig. 5) as important predictors of rate processes and ΔN2O are indicated (*) in panel (b).
