From: Rhizosphere fungal community assembly varied across functional guilds in a temperate forest
Boxplots showing the distribution of standardized d’ index for each fungal guild. The thick bar represents the median, the box represents the 25th and 75th quartiles, and the whiskers represent first and fourth quartiles. Single points are outlying values. PF: plant pathogens; EMF: ectomycorrhizal fungi; SAF: saprotrophs. We only included OTUs that presented at least three samples in any one of 19 tree species (for ectomycorrhizal fungi, 5 EM tree species). d’ significantly differed between plant pathogens and ectomycorrhizal fungi, and between ectomycorrhizal fungi and saprotrophs, but not between plant pathogens and saprotrophs (Mann–Whitney test)
