Diversity in viral community activity. A Beta diversity of DNA viral community activity. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination plots, representing the dissimilarities between gene transcript abundances, for each growth stage. Ordinations represent DNA viral activity at seedling (n = 6696), DNA viral activity at stem extension (n = 7958), and DNA viral activity at pre-harvest (n = 11,299). Shapes are coloured based on field crop rotation strategy: continuous cropping (orange) and virgin rotation (blue). Shapes indicate compartment: bulk soil (circles) and rhizosphere soil (triangles). Stress values associated with two-dimensional ordination are reported for each plot. B Variation in community activity explained by soil compartment and crop rotation. PERMANOVA results describe the variance in viral community activity explained by soil compartment and crop rotation, respectively, for each growth stage. Points are coloured based on community: DNA viral (red)
