Mycorrhizal type match/mismatch affects the compositional similarities in fungal community between seedlings and saplings. The Morisita–Horn similarity index measures the extent to which seedling species shared fungal species (OTUs) with sapling species at the time of harvest. Boxplots of the Morisita–Horn similarity index are shown for matching (white) versus mismatching (gray) resident conditions (N = 4) for a arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) seedling community and (b) ectomycorrhizal (EcM) seedling community. Lines in each boxplot represent the minimum (whisker), lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum (whisker)
