Community-driven invasions trigger changes in the successional trajectories of soil bacterial communities. a ASV richness of treatments across 60 days. b The compositional shift of coalescent communities compared to the uninvaded control based on weighted UniFrac distance. Points in figures were dodged horizontally to prevent overlapping. c Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) shows the succession of community composition between coalescent and uninvaded communities across time. Black and gray squares represent the average status of coalescent and uninvaded treatments, respectively. Asterisks (“*”, p < 0.05; “**”, p < 0.01; “***”, p < 0.001) indicate significant differences among treatments for richness (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD) and composition (Adonis test)
