FIGURE 7.

The top 10 fungal phylotypes within each life-history strategy in the Hillslope (A,C,E) and Floodplain (B,D,F). Phylotypes were ranked by their percent change in abundance between the specified sampling time-points. The bars represent log2fold changes and the percent contributions to the change in group relative abundance are given at the side of the bar. Only two fungal genera contributed to the significant change in fungal Snowmelt-Specialists from March to May in the Floodplain location (D). Abbreviations for taxonomy (class-level) are Agarico – Agaricomycetes; Archaeo – Archaeorhizomycetes; Asco – Ascomycetes; Dothideo – Dothideomycetes; Eurotio – Eurotiomycetes; Leotio – Leotiomycetes; Pezizo – Pezizomycetes; Sordario – Sordariomycetes. Abbreviations for functional groups are Ecto – ectomycorrhizae; Endophyte – root endophyte; Mixo – mixotrophic; Patho – pathotrophic; Sapro – saprotrophic.
