Multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot indicating how similar soil microbial communities from Rainforest samples (green dots) cluster together, but away from communities of the Pasture samples (red dots). The clustering is visualized with gray lines connecting samples with similar communities. The MDS plot was created using Bray–Curtis dissimilarity among samples and an average-linkage algorithm for community clustering.
