FIGURE 5.

Different functions of the two quantitative methods compared with the bar chart. Different colors represent different groups of samples. The vertical coordinate is the functional pathway information, and the horizontal coordinate is the average relative abundance value (left: based on relative quantification (RQ)) and the average absolute abundance value (right: based on absolute quantification (AQ)). Data are expressed as mean ± SE (*p < .05 (Welch's T‐test) among the groups is shown in this figure). (a) The surface groups between Z. japonica and S. alterniflora; (b) the bottom groups between Z. japonica and S. alterniflora
