From: Interactions between rootstocks and compost influence the active rhizosphere bacterial communities in citrus

Fig. 1

A Number of observed ASVs and values of Shannon and inverse Simpson diversity indices of active bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of citrus trees on four different rootstocks. Soils were untreated (control) or treated with compost. Different letters above the bars indicate significant differences between rootstocks and treatments (linear mixed-effect model and Tukey’s HSD; n = 8; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001). Values are expressed as mean with standard error. B Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot on Bray-Curtis distance for active bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of four different rootstocks. Differences in community composition between rootstocks, treatments, and their interactions were tested by PERMANOVA. Stress = 0.124
