Figure 3

Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) plot of soil fauna community structure in different maize fields. Macfadyen method (A) and hand-sorting method (B) Circles with associated numbers from 1 to 30 indicate sampling points analysed in temporal order in 2014 (1–3: Bt maize at V0 stage, 4–6: non-Bt maize at V0 stage, 7–9: Bt maize at V3 stage, 10–12: non-Bt maize at V3 stage, 13–15: Bt maize at V6 stage, 16–18: non-Bt maize at V6 stage, 19–21: Bt maize at R1 stage, 22–24: non-Bt maize at R1 stage, 25–27: Bt maize at R6 stage, 28–30: non-Bt maize at R6 stage). Triangles with associated numbers from 31 to 60 indicate sampling points analysed in temporal order in 2015 (31–33: Bt maize at V0 stage, 34–36: non-Bt maize at V0 stage, 37–39: Bt maize at V3 stage, 40–42: non-Bt maize at V3 stage, 43–45: Bt maize at V6 stage, 46–48: non-Bt maize at V6 stage, 49–51: Bt maize at R1 stage, 52–54: non-Bt maize at R1 stage, 55–57: Bt maize at R6 stage, 58–60: non-Bt maize at R6 stage). The right side of the diagram represents Shepard’s stress plot.
