Fig 4.

Two-dimensional NMDS plot showing bacterial community structure differences between asymptomatic and symptomatic leaf tissues, as well as the presence or absence of L. crenatae (stress = 0.14). Each point is a mean of the axis scores (plus or minus standard error) for the samples that differed in nematode detection at each site. Some sites had differing nematode detection (ANF South, Secor Metropark, Seneca Golf Course, Tinker’s Creek, and The Wilds), and some sites had L. crenatae detected in all samples (Bole Woods, Chapin Forest, O’Neil Woods, and the Wilderness Center).
