Summary of the number and taxonomic affiliation of significantly drought-affected OTUs in sequencing datasets from each habitat and at each depth.
| Marker | Habitat | Positive Effect | Negative Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16S rRNA gene | Bog-5 cm | Proteobacteria (1); Acidobacteria (2); Bacteroidetes (1) | None |
| Bog-20 cm | Acidobacteria (2) | None | |
| Fen-5 cm | Acidobacteria (1); Bacteroidetes (2); Proteobacteria (11); Unassigned Bacteria (3) | Pacearchaeota (1); Bacteroidetes (12); Firmicutes (1); Proteobacteria (4); Unassigned Bacteria (2) | |
| Fen-20 cm | Acidobacteria (1); Unassigned Bacteria (1) | Unassigned Bacteria (3) | |
| 18S rRNA gene | Bog-5 cm | Rhizaria (2); Unassigned Eukaryote (1) | None |
| Bog-20 cm | None | None | |
| Fen-5 cm | Alveolata (1); Nematoda (1); Rhizaria (1); Unassigned Eukaryote (2) | Unassigned Eukaryote (2) | |
| Fen-20 cm | Strameopiles (1) | None |
Drought-affected OTUs shown were significantly affected by the treatment: time point interaction effect at a p-value of <0.05 prior to the application of corrections for multiple comparisons. Only taxonomic annotations with a utax confidence value of >0.85 are included, with annotations at lower confidence values classed as ‘unassigned’.
