Fig. 4

Distribution of taxa belonging to the phylum Thaumarchaeota per location shown for five representative distribution types. The Germany_1 distribution profile is representative for Cyprus, Netherlands_1, Netherlands_2, Switzerland_1, Switzerland_2, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, France_1, UK, Germany_2_FR, Germany_3 and Germany_4. Distribution of Thaumarchaeota subtaxa is similar in Latvia and Finland, further the distribution profile of France_3 resembles the profile of France_2_EPO. The profiles of France_2_MONT and Germany_2_HRO are rather unique. The similarity of distribution profiles was determined by visual inspection. In Additional file 3 all profiles are shown (treatments per location combined). On the left band, the Sankey diagrams show the phylum, which splits into families (middle) and further into genera (right). The widths of the bands are linearly proportional to the relative abundance within the soil locations, but the initial bands (phylum Thaumarchaeota) do not correspond to their relative abundance. The relative abundance of Thaumarchaota is shown in the bar plot in Fig. 2b. Sankey diagrams were created using SankeyMATIC (https://sankeymatic.com/)
