Fig. 3From: Responses of soil microbial communities to freeze–thaw cycles in a Chinese temperate forestConstrained principal coordinate analysis (CPCoA) of soil a bacterial and b fungal community composition at different freeze–thaw stages based on the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrix of OTU. The two-way PERMANOVA analysis (permutations = 999) indicated freeze–thaw treatment (FT) and soil horizons (H) had significant effects (FT: P = 0.0164; H: P = 0.0014) on bacterial community, but had no significant effect (FT: P = 0.1890; H: P = 0.7422) on fungal communityBack to article page
