Extended Data Fig. 9: Thermokarst-induced differences in topsoil (0-10 cm) microbial diversity and their relationships with the normalized soil respiration (Rs) change at the Shaliuhe site.
From: Enhanced response of soil respiration to experimental warming upon thermokarst formation
a-d, Relationships of normalized Rs change with Shannon and Simpson indices for bacterial (a, b) and fungal (c, d) communities. The inserts denote differences in Shannon and Simpson indices upon permafrost collapse. Data are presented with mean values ± s.e.m. (n = 30). Significant differences between collapsed and non-collapsed areas were determined based on linear mixed-effects models with one-sided F tests. ns, non-significant; *, P < 0.05. Samples were collected from the three thermo-erosion gullies in 2019.
