Non-metric multidimensional distance scaling (NMDS) analysis of the composition of the rhizosphere microbial communities among treatments at V15. (A) Taxonomic similarity (Bray-Curtis) and (B) phylogenetic similarity (weighted UniFrac). Treatments: C, Control; F, Urea-topdressing fertilization at V5; I, A. brasilense inoculant on seeds sowing; FI, F + I; S, Maize stover coverage; FS, F + S; IS, I + S; FIS, F + I + S.
