The influence of environmental and microbial community variables on lignolytic activity. (A) Environmental and community compositional variables which explain the highest proportion of variance in total 13C incorporation into PLFA. Compositional predictors ‘taxonomy’ and ‘CAZy’ were based on the separation of samples by the primary and secondary axes of NMDS ordinations. (B0 The correlation in relative abundance of Caulobacteraceae reads in 16 S rRNA libraries and 13C-enrichment of DNA for lignin. (C) The negative correlation between total 13C incorporation from lignin into PLFA and total soil carbon in mineral soils. δ-13C is a measure of the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon relative to Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite
