Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS) ordination of denitrifying communities based on presence/absence of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) defined by nosZ RFLP patterns. □ = Jun 01; cultivated wetlands (CW). ■ = Sep 12; cultivated wetlands (BC). ○ = Jun 01; uncultivated wetlands. ● = Sep 12; uncultivated wetlands. Vectors show the direction and magnitudes of the correlation coefficient (r²) between NMS ordination axes and functional variables. The r² for the correlation between functional variable and axis 1 and axis 2 are in parentheses (in the order r² to axis 1, r² to axis 2). Note: only functions with r² ≥ 40% to either NMS axes are shown in joint plots.
