Figure 5

Bacterial (A) and archaeal (B) networks were constructed by calculating the correlations between species representing significant co-occurrence relationships among the abundance of clades on OTU level in soils around Chaerhan Salt Lake. The size of nodes in the figure represents the degree of connectivity of species, and different colors represent different gates. The colors of the lines indicate positive or negative correlations; the thickness of the line indicates the correlation coefficient, and the thicker the line, the higher the correlation between species. The more the lines, the closer the relationship between the species and other species. Only P-values < 0.05 and absolute values of correlation > 0.8 are shown in the figures.
