rpS3 species group diversity and abundance throughout a weathered granite profile. a Percent of total relative coverage for the top 50% of the ribosomal protein S3 bearing contigs representing species groups. b PCoA plot showing beta diversity of the nine communities collected from the soil (yellow), moderately (orange) and highly (red) weathered regions. Refer to Supplementary Table 1 for all species groups recovered and Supplementary Table 2 for their relative abundance
