The Richness and Shannon indices in (A) RT, (B) RS, and (C) BS samples. RT, RS, and BS are root tissue, rhizosphere soil, and bulk soil, respectively. DP, NP, and SP represent dead, healthy, and diseased C. cathayensis trees, respectively. The first (25%), third (75%) and median quartiles of each data set are shown in the box plots. Significant differences (P < 0.05) between datasets are indicated in lowercase.
