Bacterial community composition across seagrass microenvironments. Beta diversity of bacterial microbiomes across the six microenvironments within the plant and its surroundings. Triplicate samples per microenvironment within each of the four sampling sites (n = 72) are colored by the highest assigned taxonomic level. Unique OTUs were summarized at the species level, and the representation of taxonomic groups within each sample are plotted. Only representative species with a relative abundance >1% in all samples are shown to help remove visual clutter. UpL, upper leaf; LoL, lower leaf; Sh, sheath; RR, roots and rhizomes; Sed, sediment; SW, seawater; PB, Palm Beach; RB, Rose Bay; N, Narrabeen Lagoon; LM, Lake Macquarie.
