Explaining bacterial community composition after 6 weeks of shelter installation using a partial dbRDA and percent change in diversity (from before inoculation treatment to after shelter installation) using a linear mixed effects model with crop, rain treatment, and inoculation treatment (Inoc.) as fixed effects and block as a random effect in the mixed effects model and x and y plot coordinates as conditional variables in the dbRDA. Gray boxes indicate variables were not examined. Dashes indicate variables were removed during model selection.
