Fig. 4From: Assessing soil microbes that drive fairy ring patterns in temperate semiarid grasslandsSoil microbial composition as indicated by nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrices across three sampling zones (inside, ring-edge, and outside), based on phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) biomarkers (nmol g− 1 dry soil) extracted from soil. Sampling zones are represented by different shapesBack to article page
