Only taxa above a 1% average compositional threshold are shown. Maximum abundance of each taxon within individual features and standard deviation across all 925 springs. Where taxonomy assignment failed to classify to genus level, the closest assigned taxonomy is shown
SD = standard deviation, f = family, o = order, p = phylum
