The relationship analysis between soil microbial functional gene diversity and environmental variables.A. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) of relative abundance data and soil environmental variables that were significantly related to microbial variations, C/N: the ratio of soil organic carbon to soil total nitrogen.B. Variation partitioning analysis (VPA) of microbial diversity explained by soil chemical factors (soil, including soil organic carbon, available nitrogen, the ratio of soil organic carbon to total nitrogen, soil moisture and pH), soil temperature (temp) and plant diversity (the Shannon index of trees and shrubs), and their relationships. Each diagram represents the biological variation partitioned into the relative effects of each factor or a combination of factors, in which geometric areas were proportional to the percentages of explained variation.
