Fig. 4From: Integrated biogeography of planktonic and sedimentary bacterial communities in the Yangtze RiverLEfSe cladogram of microbial community obtained for five landform types in water (a) and sediment (b). All detected taxa, with relative abundance ≥ 0.5% in at least one sample, assigned to domain (innermost), phylum, class, order, family, and genus (outermost), are used to determine the taxa or clades most likely to explain differences between landform types. Differentially abundant taxa (biomarkers) are colored according to their most abundant landform habitats; red, green, orange, purple, and blue circles stand for taxa that are abundant in plains, mountains, foothill-mountains, basins, and foothills, respectively. The color intensity of the outmost ring is proportional to the taxa abundance (genus level) at the landform type of greatest prevalenceBack to article page
