Figure 5

Redundancy analysis (RDA) of the associations of soil microbial community composition (as indicated by PLFAs) with environmental factors.

P-6, P-4, P-2, C, P + 2, P + 4 and P + 6 represent −60%, −40%, −20%, control (ambient), +20%, +40% and +60% precipitation, respectively. “Hollow squares” and “solid squares” represent 2011 and 2012, respectively. SM, soil moisture; ST, soil temperature; DOC, dissolved organic C; DIN, dissolved inorganic N; TOC, total organic C; TN, total N.
