The hierarchical clustering based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, between the various samples, of the abundant taxa at genus rank for bacteria a and the abundant archaea b. The abbreviations represent the datasets. First letters refer to the five hot springs (A = Akwar, E = Elegedi, G = Garbanabra, J = Gelti and M = Maiwooi), while the second letters are for sample types (A = mats, S = wet sediment, and W = water)
