Correlation between soil properties, microbial interactions, and bacterial and fungal assemblages (βNTI).
| Bacterial assemblage | Fungal assemblage | |
|---|---|---|
| Soil properties | ||
| TP | 0.081** | −0.143** |
| SOC | 0.032** | −0.063** |
| C:N | −0.034** | 0.042** |
| N:P | −0.061** | −0.034** |
| pH | NS | −0.024* |
| TN | NS | NS |
| Microbial interactions | ||
| PNC | 0.050** | NS |
The asterisks indicate a significant correlation (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01), NS means no significant difference.
SOC, Soil organic carbon; TN, Total nitrogen; TP, Total phosphorus; C:N, The ratio of soil organic carbon and nitrogen; N:P, The ratio of soil nitrogen and phosphorus; PNC, the proportion of negative correlation.
