Bulk soil and root-associated microbial communities are separable by niches in phyla and genus level. Relative abundance of bacterial (A) and fungal (B) phyla significantly changed with niches. Heatmap showing the abundance of bacterial (C) and fungal (D) genus associated with niches. (The z-scores represented the abundance of genus. cl cluster indicated the genus enriched bulk soil and rhizosphere; c2: enriched bulk soil; c3: enriched rhizoplane; c4: enriched rhizoplane and endosphere; c5: enriched endosphere; c6: enriched rhizosphere. The significant difference of microbial abundance between niches tested by a likelihood ratio test. p < 0.05). N: normal wild Rhododendron delavayi Franch; BS: Bulk soil; RS: Rhizosphere; RP: Rhizoplane; ES: Endosphere.
