Arrows indicate the direction and magnitude of measurable variables associated with soil microbial communities structures. Circle, Star, Diamond and Up-triangle symbol types respectively represent Lotus corniculatus, Medicago sativa, Pinus tabulaeformis and Salix matsudanaSabina chinensis mixed forest. White, green, blue and black respectively represent no, inorganic, organic and a combination of inorganic and organic fertilizer added to soils. BD, SOC/TN, LC1, and LC2 are the soil bulk density, ratio of soil organic carbon to total nitrogen, labile carbon pool 1 and 2, respectively.
