Correlation analysis between litter decomposition constant (k) and initial leaf litter traits and microbial communities. (A) Full sun; (B) Shade. Red indicates negative correlation, while blue indicates positive correlation (p < 0.05). The numbers below the figure represent correlation coefficients. TC: total carbon content; TN: total nitrogen content; C: N: carbon: nitrogen; ASVs_ bacterial: the number of Amplicon Sequence Variants in the soil bacterial community; Chao1_bacterial: the Chao1 index within the context of the soil bacterial community; Shannon_bacterial: the Shannon index within the context of the soil bacterial community; ASVs_fungal: the number of Amplicon Sequence Variants in the soil fungal community; Chao1_fungal: the Chao1 index within the context of the soil fungal community; Shannon_ fungal: the Shannon index within the context of the soil fungal community.
