Survival Rates of Microbial Communities from Livestock Waste to Soils: A Comparison between Compost and Digestate
Figure 2
Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of microbial community structures in soils (n = 4) among treatments at four sampling times: (a) week 1, (b) week 6, (c) week 10, and (d) week 14. Analysis of similarity (permutational multivariate ANOVA) statistic R and its significance level are indicated. The arrows in (a) and (c) show the direction of the significant environmental factors ( and , respectively) obtained by fitting environmental factors in the ordination space of samples.
