Extended Data Fig. 3: The effects of microbial inoculants on soil microbial alpha diversity.
a, Bacterial Shannon diversity; b, bacterial richness diversity; c, fungal Shannon diversity; d, fungal richness diversity. Bars around the means denote 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Bacteria, fungi, and AMF in front of each subgroup name represent bacterial inoculants, fungal inoculants, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculants, respectively. The number of observations is beside each attribute. The between-group heterogeneity (Qbetween) statistic is computed using the one-sided chi-square test. A significance level is set at Prandom < 0.05 to determine the significance of Qbetween. Differences among subgroups are deemed significant when their CIs do not overlap. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
