Fig. 5. (a-c) Bacterial richness, diversity, and evenness in the rhizosphere of wild and modern barley as impacted by soil microbiome (DSM versus NSM). Presented are the means for each trait and 95% compatibility intervals that were computed by using a non-parametric bootstrap resampling with 10,000 iterations. Individual observations are also presented for each trait (n = 5). (d) Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination of bacterial taxa in the rhizosphere of wild and modern barley as impacted by rich (filled circles) and reduced (open circles) soil microbial life. (e) Relative abundance of bacterial taxa.
