FIGURE 2.
(A) Boxplot showing Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of the replicates from the centroid for specific PMIs for Library A (top) and Library B (bottom) and (B) NMDS plot showing an increase in beta diversity between the control soil and the grave soil, represented by expanded ellipses for P1, P2, P3, and P4 (P1 = 1 month, P2 = 2 months, P3 = 4 months, and P4 = 6 months). Standard deviation is represented by the dimension of the ellipses. Library A is at the top of the figure, and Library B at the bottom. The homogeneity of dispersion among groups was supported by a non-significant result in permutest (p-value = 0.48 for Library A and 0.31 for Library B).
