Bacterial community compositions across the growing season of Lux Arbor: NMDS plots of the (a) root and (b) soil communities of switchgrass. Symbols represent the mean composition in nitrogen (N) addition (filled circles) and control (open triangles) subplots with error bars representing SE. Fill color ramp represents collection dates with lighter colors representing earlier dates and darker colors later dates. Gray ellipses represent plot level composition at 95% confidence. Euler diagrams of (c) root bacterial and (d) soil bacterial communities represent the partitioning of the deviance from generalized dissimilarity models (GDMs) into spatial (pairwise distance between samples), temporal (collection date), soil (soil Ca), meteorological (MET: soil core gravimetric soil moisture), and soil-plant (subplot yield, soil Ca). Loess graphs from GDMs of (e) temporal and (f) spatial patterns in community change of root bacteria (green lines) and soil bacteria (brown lines). Dashed lines represent 95% confidence. Vertical lines along the x-axes represent collection dates and pairwise spatial distances
