Fig. 4: Pairwise comparison of phagotrophic protists in the open field (OF) and greenhouse (GH) soils.
From: Transitions within agroecosystems impact protists diversity and soil multifunctionality
A Decomposition of the dissimilarity of the abundant and rare protist taxa between OF and GH soil pairs. Each point represents a pairwise comparison. The position of each point represents a triplet of values of the similarity (S), replacement (Repl), and richness difference (RichDiff). B Contributions of geographic variables and edaphic properties variations (Δ, GH–OF) to the dissimilarity of phagotrophic protists between OF and GH soil pairs. The circle size represents the importance of the variable calculated by random forest analysis. Colors represent the Spearman correlation coefficients. C Constrained analysis of principal coordinates (CAP) showing that latitude influenced the dissimilarity of phagotrophic protists between paired OF and GH soils. The points are colored according to latitude of paired OF and GH soils.
