Both the habitat and the plant taxonomic group influence mycobiome composition despite frequent fungal sharing. Dendrogram representations of the different root mycobiota across all the sampled communities (a) or within each sampled community (b Grand brûlé, Plaine-des-Palmistes, or Dimitile) based on the 18S rRNA (left) or ITS2 (right) markers. For each community, we only retained the fungal lineages that may form mycorrhizal interactions, computed the dissimilarity between pairs of samples (using Bray–Curtis distances), and reconstructed the dendrogram using neighbor-joining: two plant root samples that are close in the dendrogram tend to have similar fungal compositions. Branches are colored according to the sampled community (a) or to the plant taxonomic group (b). For each dendrogram, we also indicated the results of the PERMANOVA (R2 and p-value based on 10,000 permutations) testing the effect of the sampled community (top row) or the plant taxonomic groups (bottom rows) on the Bray–Curtis diversity between root samples
