Figure 2. — Litter and microsite affected density and diversity of endophytic fungi. (a) The number of isolated endophytes differed among litter treatments, with more isolates from no litter plants compared with plants exposed to cacao litter. (b) The number of isolated endophytes differed among microsites, with fewer isolates from seedlings placed high in the canopy compared with low in the canopy or at ground level. (c) Shannon diversity differed among litter treatments (pictured: NGS dataset). Endophyte diversity in no litter plants was significantly higher than plants exposed to cacao or mixed litter. (d) Shannon diversity differed significantly based on placement in the canopy (pictured: NGS dataset). Endophyte diversity was lower for seedlings placed high in the canopy compared with low in the canopy or at ground level. Dots represent individual hosts. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
