Environmental drivers of soil microbial community after M. micrantha invasion. Microbial community composition (based on relative abundances at the phylum level) and functional gene expression of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling (based on biochemical KEGG modules) was related to each environmental factor by partial (geographic distance–corrected) Mantel tests. Edge width corresponds to the Mantel’s r statistic for the corresponding distance correlations, and edge color denotes the statistical significance based on 9,999 permutations.
