LEfSe cladogram of planktonic (a) and benthic (b) diatom communities from four PAR regions. Diatom taxa with a mean relative abundance of ≥ 0.1% in all samples, assigned to kingdom (innermost), phylum, class, order, family, and genus (outermost), are used to determine taxa or clades most likely to explain differences between PAR regions. Differentially abundant taxa (biomarkers) are colored by their most abundant PAR regions, i.e., red, green, blue, and purple circles stand for biomarkers in regions of very high, high, medium, and low. Orange and blue circles display the average alpha-diversity (Chao1) of planktonic and benthic diatoms respectively in different photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) regions, and their sizes correspond to the Chao1 index (c)
