From: Invariant community structure of soil bacteria in subtropical coniferous and broadleaved forests
Redundancy analysis (RDA) of PLFA profiles for soil samples using 8 microbial group PLFAs and 9 environmental parameters.
Blue line vectors represent microbial variables: bacterial PLFA biomarkers. Red line vectors represent environmental variables: Soil moisture content (SMC), soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total nitrogen (STN), the ratio of soil organic carbon to soil total nitrogen (soil C: N), pH water (pH), litter organic carbon (LOC), litter total nitrogen (LTN), litter storage (LS) and the ratio of litter organic carbon to litter total nitrogen (litter C: N). (A) The bacterial communities and the environment factors in the broadleaved forests, n = 90; (B) distribution of samples in the broadleaved forests, n = 90. (C) bacterial communities and the environment factors in the coniferous forests, n = 90; (D) distribution of samples in the coniferous forests, n = 90.
