Scatter plot showing the distribution of rERs of the six habitat categories, based on the pooled data of all samples in each category.
The 5%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% quartiles are indicated. The significant differences of rERs among different habitat categories were determined using pairwise Mann–Whitney U-tests based on the average rER for each habitat as displayed in Supplementary Table S1. (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; α = 0.05, two-tailed. All P-values were adjusted for multiple testing using the “BH” correction in R. Detailed P-values were listed as follows: saline lake vs. freshwater, 0.029; saline lake vs. soil, 0.010; saline lake vs. hot spring, 0.033; AMD vs. hot spring, 0.007; AMD vs. surface ocean, 0.020; AMD vs. freshwater, 0.007; AMD vs. soil, 0.007; hot spring vs. surface ocean, 0.028; hot spring vs. soil, 0.040; surface water vs. freshwater, 0.017; surface water vs. soil, 0.007; freshwater vs. soil, 0.020).
