<p>Non-metric, multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination of fungal community compositions within different litter loads (A), and within different litter loads at different sampling times (B). Distances and ordination were based on fungal ESV data in each treatment combination. Fungal community compositions are shown here within each litter load (L), and at different sampling times (D). Plots (symbols) are coded in panel A by litter load, using symbol color and shape. In panel B, plots are coded by sampling time by symbol shape, and litter load by symbol color. Overlain polygons identify the spread and separation of fungal species compositions in plots of the same litter load, or in plots of the same litter load and sampling time.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
