Analysis of microbial diversity in different fertilizer treatments. Treatments included control (CK), chemical fertilizer only (CF), and 75% replacement of chemical with organic fertilizer (OM3). (A) Chao index in α diversity analysis. (B) Shannon index in α diversity analysis. (C) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) on OTU level. The individual samples are color coded to indicate CK, CF and OM3. The plot was analyzed and generated based on the Bray–Curtis distances. (D) Venn diagram depicting the number of shared and specific OTUs between treatments. (E) Circos graph. The left semicircle represents the phyla composition of each group. The right semicircle indicates the distribution of each phylum in the different groups. (F) LEfSe multilevel species difference discriminant analysis (LSD > 4).
