Fig. 7From: The different responses of planktonic bacteria and archaea to water temperature maintain the stability of their community diversity in dammed riversVariations in Shannon–Wiener index (a), Faith’s phylogenetic diversity (b), and contribution of deterministic processes (%) (c) for bacteria and archaea, respectively, and the Shannon–Wiener index of total bacteria and archaea (NS: Not Significant) (d) with water temperature (WT) gradients, each WT gradient is 5 °C. Significance level: p < 0.001***; p < 0.01**; p < 0.05*. e Average WT in the sampling month versus the slope of distance–decay relationship for bacteria in the Wujiang River (left) in 2017 (solid point) and in the Pearl River (right) in 2019 (hollow point), and the regression is only for WJ-17. f The ratio of archaeal community dissimilarity to bacterial community dissimilarity versus the ratio of Fv/Fm to Chl a concentration.
