Fig. 4: Overview of changes in relative abundance of the dominant fungal taxa and related processes following sequential P and CN additions at two contrasting levels in the low P and high P soils.

Changes in fungal community composition are indicated by shifts in relative abundance of the top 10 bacterial classes affiliating to 5 phyla (a–d). Simplified non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plots derived from sequence data at OTU level (e–h). There are three replicates in the day 0, and four replicates in other sampling days. Areas marked by different colors in NMDS plots separate the community composition before and after CNP additions, and arrows show most important processes of microbial biomass, phospholipids P and DNA P formation (canonical correspondence analysis, p < 0.05).
