Principal-coordinates analysis of 16S rRNA gene clone libraries of leaf blade- and leaf sheath-associated bacteria under ambient (AMBI) and FACE conditions. The ordination was constructed from all sequence data using UniFrac distances weighted by the relative abundance. NT, normal surface water-soil temperature with standard nitrogen fertilization; ET, elevated surface water-soil temperature (+2°C from NT) with standard nitrogen fertilization; LN, NT with no nitrogen fertilization. The left cluster consists of leaf blade-associated bacteria and the right cluster shows leaf sheath-associated bacteria. The arrow indicates a community shift described in the text. The shaded circle emphasizes the high similarity of community structures between the control (AMBI-NT) and FACE-ET.
