a Principal Component Analysis of environmental conditions. Components 1 and 2 explained 58/26% (WSC) and 60/14% (EGC) respectively, and hence the majority of physicochemical variability. For EGC, label size indicates percent ice cover. Only sampling events with complete environmental data were considered. b Non-metric multidimensional scaling of Hellinger-transformed relative ASV abundances (stress values 0.07, 0.03, 0.13, 0.1 from top to bottom) and corresponding Jensen-Shannon distances between and within seasons (larger numbers designate more dissimilar communities).
