From: Spatio-temporal variation in the root-associated microbiota of orchard-grown apple trees
Variation in the apple root-associated bacterial community structure due to spatial (root section), temporal and tree-to-tree effects. A Constrained analysis of principle coordinates (CAP, based on DEICODE distance matrices, constrained by the variables tree, root section, and timepoint) shown for the L-compartment (left) and T-compartment (right). A colour gradient differentiates the four sampling timepoints and symbol shapes the root section. B Statistical evaluation of differences in bacterial beta diversity in the L- and T-compartment. Effect sizes were assessed by PERMANOVA based on DEICODE distance matrices
