Fig. 2. Nonmetric-multidimensional scaling (NMS) analysis of community fatty acid profiles extracted with the (top) phospholipid-linked fatty acid (PLFA) method or the (bottom) ester-linked fatty acid (ELFA) method (nonpolluted, NP; polluted and reclaimed, PR; and polluted, P). The proportion of variance explained by each axis is based on the correlation between distance in the reduced NMS space and distance in the original space and is reported after each axis heading.
