1. Above- and belowground community structure along cheatgrass, spotted knapweed, and leafy spurge invasion transects.
Above- and belowground community structure along cheatgrass, spotted knapweed, and leafy spurge invasion transects. The bar plots at the top of the figure show the abundance of each invasive plant species along the linear invasion transects sampled in Scatter plots are PCoAs for prokaryotic (top row) and fungal (bottom row) communities for the three different gradients (left to right, see labels). PCoA points are colored by distance along the gradient: yellow denotes samples taken near the native side of the gradient, and black denotes samples taken toward the invaded side of the gradient.
