Canonical Analysis of Soil pH Impact on Bacterial Community Structure in Plot Experiments
This study explores the relationship between soil pH and the structure of bacterial communities across different plot types, including monoculture and multi-species setups. Utilizing canonical analysis and multi-dimensional scaling based on Bray-Curtis similarity measures, we assess how varying pH levels influence bacterial composition. Supplementary materials provide additional insights into the data and methods used in this analysis, with the goal of enhancing our understanding of microbial dynamics in diverse agricultural systems.

Canonical analysis of the relationship between soil pH and bacterial community structure. Canonical distance is the relative position of datasets in the first dimension, generated from multi-dimensional scaling using the Bray-Curtis similarity measure.
