The RNA-inferred community showed a strong trend toward homogenization across sites ( F 2 , 219 = 23.33, p < 0.001), with average pairwise similarity increasing over the progression of agricultural development across our sites (i.e., the chronosequence, Canberra: forest mean: 0.289 ± 0.008, burned mean: 0.327 ± 0.004, plantation mean: 0.340, ± 0.004).
