From: Temporal microbial colonization on different forages is driven by the rumen environmental conditions
Variation in the alpha diversity of the microbiota attached to the forage surface. The lines show the changes in microbial alpha diversity during forage incubation in the different rumen environmental conditions. The green and yellow solid lines represent the microbiota attached to AH (alfalfa hay pellets in nylon bags) that was incubated in either AHR (a rumen environmental condition created from animals fed an alfalfa hay-based diet) or CSR (a rumen environmental condition created from animals fed a corn stover-based diet). The green and yellow dashed lines represent bacteria attached to CS incubated under AHR and CSR, respectively
