Figure 6.
Pearson correlations showing the association between forage production (FP: Mg ha−1) and rhizosphere soil microbial community for corn soybean monocropping and intercropping treatments. T PLFAs = total phospholipid fatty acids; G+: G− = gram positive to gram negative bacteria ratio; F: B = fungi to bacteria ratio; FP = forage production; ns = correlation is not significant; *Correlation is significant (p ≤ 0.05); (**p ≤ 0.01); (***p ≤ 0.001) and n is 66 for all parameters. PLFAs were measured as nmol g−1 soil.
