Figure 3. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination plot for fungal communities from Salix repens sites.

Ordinations were based on the square-root transformed abundance of 97% ITS sequence similarity OTUs. Labels, localities and descriptions of the sampling sites are given in Table 1. Vectors are shown for soil pH, total OTU richness, and for the most diverse taxonomic orders (A) and genera (B) that correlated with the ordination axes at r²>0.200.
