Hi everyone, I would like to test the resilience and resistance of soil fungal communities (metabarcoding data) in unthinned and thinned plots. As I understood, to test the resilience I need to compare the fungal community composition after disturbance and at the end of the experiment, while to test the resistance I need to compare the control fungal community composition and the one at the end of the experiment.
Is there a way to measure this in R? Should I just compare the distance matrix (i.e. Bray Curtis) between the treatments? I hope my question is not too confused and I thank you all in advance for your help!
