Figure 4. Taxonomic summary of the relative abundance of bacterial phyla in the D. angustifolia sites (DA), native shrub sites (NS), encroaching in shrub sites (ES), native herbaceous sites (NH) and encroaching in herbaceous sites (EH).

The taxa are arranged as per total relative abundance across all samples, with the most abundant phyla at the bottom and the least abundant phyla at the top of the y-axis. Similarly, the phylum names in the legend are arranged from the most abundant at the top to the least abundant at the bottom.
