Non-metric multidimensional scaling of the RMQS subsample dataset using Bray–Curtis dissimilarities according to a BIOCOM-PIPE, b FROGS, c mothur, and d ASV definition, and boxplots of distances to centroids according to d BIOCOM-PIPE, e FROGS, f mothur, and ASV definition (g). Stress values between 0.1 and 0.2 provide useable representations. Colors refer to five different land use types: dark green = forest; light green = grasslands; orange = crop systems; purple = vineyards; light blue = “others”. Significance codes for each treatment were assigned based on the results of pairwise comparisons using adonis (Additional file 7: Table S2)
