Lineage-per-time plot for the improved (•) and unimproved (□) grassland microbial communities. The ordinate is the log of the number of lineages, and the abscissa is the time (in arbitrary units) measured from the common ancestor. See the legend to Fig. 1 for a description of how the plot was constructed. The phylogenetic diversities of the two communities are virtually identical.
