Figure 1. Soil microbial community structure based on PLFAs under different treatments of litter and nitrogen in a mixed pine/oak forest in central North China:

(A) Concentrations; (B) Relative abundance. Treatments began in September 2009 and were applied annually; samples were collected in August 2014. Vertical bars indicate one standard error of means (n = 5). N₀, zero rate of nitrogen addition; N₅, nitrogen addition at 5 g∙m⁻²∙a⁻¹; N₁₀, nitrogen addition at 10 g∙m⁻²∙a⁻¹; Litt_nil, litter removal; Litt_woody, fine woody litter; Litt_leaf, leaf litter; Litt_mix, mixed leaf and fine woody litter.
