Archaeal Assemblages Inhabiting Temperate Mixed Forest Soil Fluctuate in Taxon Composition and Spatial Distribution over Time

Figure 5

Relative abundance of different taxa at Stone’s Pocket measured by 1D TRFLP-SSCP. Stone’s Pocket soil samples from plots L, I, and J were grouped according to plot and year. Soil samples within each plot are ordered according to the relative abundance of g_Ca. Nitrososphaera (I.1b). Colors represent different taxa: the darkest color, red, indicates unclassified Archaea, the midtone color, blue, indicates o_NRP-J (I.1c), and the lightest color, green, indicates g_Ca. Nitrososphaera (I.1b).
