From: Spatio-temporal variation in the root-associated microbiota of orchard-grown apple trees
Root-associated bacterial community composition of apple trees as revealed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. A Relative abundance of bacterial families in samples from three different field trials (Spatial, Temporal and ST: spatio-temporal) in the loosely associated (L) and tightly associated (T) compartment. Phyla and their families with < 2% relative abundance in the respective trial were grouped as “Other”. B Differential abundance analysis of L- and T-communities at phylum level using ANCOM-BC. The heatmap shows the coefficients obtained from the ANCOM-BC log-linear model divided by their standard error (called W-value). The colour code indicates differential abundances between two compartments with red indicating enrichment in the T-compartment. A “*” is shown if ANCOM-BC showed significant differences using the adjusted p-value in this comparison
