NMDS ordination of both archaeal/bacterial and fungal communities across all 30 leaf, stem, root, and soil niches and Populus genotypes (P. deltoides, P. trichocarpa × deltoides hybrid). Darker colors represent P. deltoides (DD) samples whereas respective light colors represent hybrid samples (TD). For leaf communities: circles = developing leaf samples and triangles = mature leaf samples. For stem communities: circles = year 1, triangles = year 2, and squares = year 3 samples. Niche was most influential for archaeal/bacterial communities for leaves and stems, whereas genotype was most influential for fungal communities in leaves only. Niche was more influential for fungi in stems (Table 2). For roots and soils, in both archaeal/bacterial and fungal communities, niche was more influential than genotype (Additional file 1: Table S12)
