The community composition and diversity of phyllosphere microbes in dry and wet seasons. (a) Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination of variations in bacterial and fungal community structure (Bray–Curtis distance) in different seasons. Multi Response Permutation Procedure based on Bray–Curtis distance, bacteria: p = 0.001, fungi: p = 0.001. (b) Pielou evenness index and (c) Shannon diversity index of phyllosphere microbial communities in different seasons (Wilcoxon rank sum test). Only the bacterial Shannon diversity indices in dry and wet seasons are not significantly different. (d) Abundance in genus of the core bacterial microbiome between groups in different seasons (Wilcoxon rank sum test). (e) Abundance in genus of the core fungal microbiome between groups in different seasons (Wilcoxon rank sum test)
