Non-metric, multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination of bacterial community compositions within different fire regimes and litter loads.

<p>Distances and ordination were based on bacterial ESV data in each treatment combination. Bacterial community compositions are shown here within each combination of fire regime (R) and litter load (L). Plots (symbols) are coded by fire regime with symbol color, and litter load with symbol shape. Overlain polygons identify the spread and separation of bacterial species compositions in plots of the same fire regime and litter load combination.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
