Microbial taxonomical composition in spruce phyllosphere, but not community functional structure, varies by geographical location.

Comparing different samples (LDU, MJS, and XLS) in the bacterial communities, only the richness was highly significant with the location effect ( F = 283.34, p < 0.001; Table S3 ), the host tree effect ( F = 10.79, p < 0.001; Table S3 ), and the interaction effect of the location and host tree ( F = 3.97, p = 0.003; Table S3 ), respectively, whereas for the fungal communities, the richness, the evenness, and the diversity were all significant with these factors at different degrees ( Table S3 ).
