Fig 3. Compositions of microbial communities in the four rhizocompartments of the three leguminous plants at phylum-order levels.

Fig 3

(A) The composition of microbial communities in the four rhizocompartments of the three leguminous plants at the phylum level; (B) The composition of microbial communities in the four rhizocompartments of the three leguminous plants at the order level. a and b list the top ten major contributing bacterial phyla and the top 20 major contributing bacterial orders, respectively, in terms of relative abundance percentage; the remaining contributors are represented by the category “other”. CM: Caragana microphylla; HM: Hedysarum mongolicum; HS: Hedysarum scoparium. r: root; rs: rhizosphere soil; rz: root zone soil; b: inter-shrub bulk soil. The relative abundances of major contributing bacterial taxa in the four rhizocompartments of the three leguminous plants at phylum-order-genus levels and significant effects are listed in S1 Table.
