Microbial community composition at the phylum level and phylum abundance across different treatment groups. (A) Relative abundance of major bacterial phyla in soil samples. (B) Boxplots displaying the abundance of select bacterial phyla across different groups. * for p < 0.05 and ** for p < 0.01. Labels:‘BLANK’—soil samples without straw;'M'—mulching with straw surface layer;'D'—deep tillage with straw mixed in. Time points:‘M1’,‘M6’,‘M9’—months post-treatment. Gene types:‘2A_7’,‘CM8101’;‘CK’—non-transgenic,'T'—transgenic. P-values indicate statistical comparisons.
