\subsubsection{Sample Preparation}  Before extraction, each plant was cut into roughly 50 pieces. The first plant was cut into forty-six pieces (summarized in the figure below). Because previous Previous  data (unpublished) had shown obvious differences between tissue types, so  our study focused on fine-scale community variation within the leaves, rhizomes, and roots. each tissue type rather than among them.  Briefly, leaves were cut into twenty roughly equally-sized pieces (about five centimeters each). The relative position of each piece was recorded. Similarly, the rhizome was sectioned into six segments. Each rhizome segment was between 1.5 and 2 centimeters in length and contained no more than a single root bundle. Roots
