\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 Because previous data (unpublished) had shown obvious differences between tissue types, our study focused on fine-scale community  variation within the leaves, roots rhizomes,  and rhizomes respectively. roots.  Briefly, leaves were cut into twenty roughly equally-sized pieces (about five centimeters each). The relative position of each piece was recorded. Similarly, rhizomes were the rhizome was  sectioned into six segments (between segments. Each rhizome segment was between  1.5 and 2 cm centimeters  in length) length and contained no more than a single root bundle.
