Soil bacterial community structure changes significantly during carcass decomposition. This effect is modulated by season. (A) Relative abundance of bacteria over time in gravesoil and control soil in winter (left) and summer (right) with outliers presented at the far right. (B) Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot based on unweighted UniFrac distances showing bacterial community change associated with carcass decomposition during both summer and winter. (C) PCoA plot based on unweighted UniFrac distances displaying bacterial community change as a function of accumulated degree days, the sum of mean daily temperature during decomposition.
