Figure S1

Non-metric multidimensional scaling representing the compositional dissimilarities in bacterial communities across the 12 forest plots. Bacterial OTUs were defined at the 97 % identity threshold. Effect of elevation site is significant (Table 1). (GIF 28 kb)

Figure S2

Decay of similarity in phyllosphere fungal and bacterial communities (in red and blue, respectively) along an elevation gradient, as a function of the geographic distance between sampling plots and the identity threshold used for OTU clustering. Circles and triangles represent compositional similarities between samples at the 97 % identity threshold. Lines represent linear regressions for the various thresholds. (GIF 35 kb)
