The alpha diversity indexes of leaf phyllosphere microbiota of different urbanization levels.
Urbanization Gradient | Species Richness | Shannon Diversity | Simpson Diversity |
---|---|---|---|
Suburban | 888.67 ± 556.78 a | 4.2 ± 1.86 a | 0.86 ± 0.15 a |
Developing | 704.22 ± 136.74 ab | 5.44 ± 0.55 a | 0.98 ± 0.03 a |
Urban | 454.67 ± 47.84 b | 4.77 ± 0.42 a | 0.98 ± 0.01 a |
Suburban, developing, and urban stand for the corresponding urbanization level of a sample. Values are mean ± standard deviation, and different lowercase letters after the same column of figures indicate significant differences.
