Venn diagram showing shared co-occurring taxa over time in the pristine peatland. The taxa that co-occurred at all time intervals were regarded as the “core” community members. Methanotrophs are emboldened. Taxa in blue and red denote significant positive and negative correlation, respectively. Like Fig. 2, Beijerinkiaceae is given in brackets. Bacterial affiliations are identified to the highest taxonomic resolution (genus/species) whenever possible. The unique co-occurring taxa at each time interval, and shared co-occurring taxa at two time intervals, along with the classified OTUs are given in the Additional file 13: Table S3
