UPGMA tree showing cluster results based on Bray-Curtis similarity of the 15 monthly BCCs sampling across six sample sites (X-axis: 15 sampling months collected from 6 different location; CB, CH, HB, LP, PP and SP over 2016 and 2017. 2016 and 2017 showed as 16 and 17 respectively in the figure). The BCCs grouped into five broad temporal community clusters, all clusters were above 50–60% Bray–Curtis similarity (Y-axis) and show considerable taxonomic divergence (pie charts showing phyla level composition). For this analysis, the Bray–Curtis similarity matrix was generated using the 300 most abundant OTUs
