^a For example, the positive and negative correlations of OUT with pH were defined as acid- or alkaline-preferred correlations. “+” is denoted as “1” in the data set representing a positive correlation; “NA“ is denoted as “0“ in the data set representing no correlation; and “−” is denoted as "−1" in the data set representing a negative correlation; “/” means that the indicator is not applicable here.
