NMDS Ordination Plots

 NMDS ordination of samples organized by site (color) through a Bray-Curtis distance metric. This plot displays clustering with Patagonia samples across seasons, indicating more similar samples in this watershed across seasons. 

NMDS ordination of Proteobacteria organized by season (color) and watershed (shape) through a Bray-Curtis distance metric. This plot displays an extreme similarity to the plot above, indicating that Proteobacteria (being the most abundant phylum in our ecosystem) influence the entirety of the community makup of this ecosystem. 

NMDS ordination of Cyanobacteria organized by season (color) and watershed (shape) through a Bray-Curtis distance metric. This plot appears to show slight association between seasons, indicating that Cyanobacteria are influenced by season.
