PRG = Perennial ryegrass only; WCPRG = Perennial ryegrass and white clover sward.
P- values were generated using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, with correction for FDR. Adjusted p values deemed significant when adj p-value (P < 0.05) and trends (P < 0.10).
Only microbes with a relative abundance of > 0.1%, in one and/or both groups reported.
