  1. Goods_coverage: indicator reflects the depth of sequencing, the closer the value is to 1, the more reasonable the sequencing depth, indicating that the sequencing depth has covered all species in the sample; Chao1: provides an estimation of the actual number of OTUs in the sample as an indicator of species richness, the higher value means higher species richness; ACE: an indicator of species richness, the higher value means higher species richness, with a different algorithm to Chao1; Shannon: an index quantifies the entropy of the distribution, which depends on the evenness and richness of the proportional abundances of OTUs in the population, the higher value means higher species diversity; Simpson: an indicator of species diversity, the higher value means higher species diversity with a different algorithm to Shannon; different lower-case letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among the 5 treatments.
