Table 1.
Relationship between prokaryote/fungal community structure and the biomass of soybean individuals. For each dataset (i.e. root prokaryote, root fungal, soil prokaryote or soil fungal data), a PEMANOVA model of community structure was constructed. The information of the sampling set (set 1 or set 2) and the dry mass of host soybean individuals were included as explanatory variables.
