Results of backward selection of generalized linear models using environmental variables, soil temperature (ST), soil water content (SWC), and principal component (PC) axes of soil chemical properties and plant traits, to explain the number of genera and gene copies, and sequencing counts for each cluster as identified by finite mixture modeling.
