Spatial patterns of abundant and rare taxa. (A–C) Spatial distribution of the OTU richness in terms of abundant, rare, and all the taxa. (D,E) Spatial distribution of the relative abundance of abundant and rare taxa. (F) Spearman's correlation between OTU richness and relative abundance of abundant and rare taxa vs. environmental variables. Only significant (p < 0.05) correlations are shown in the number, which is the correlation coefficient.
