“…It is widely recognized that soil pH has strong correlations with soil bacterial diversity (Li et al, ; Zhou, Guo, Chen, & Jia, ), which is the main driver of bacterial community diversity (Wei et al, ), and consistent results were also obtained in our study (Figure a; Table ). Furthermore, present study showed that soil bacterial community diversity existed positive correlations with soil nutrients, including total C, total N, total P, available P, available N, available K, and soluble Ca 2+ , which were similar with previous findings (Deng et al, ; Wang et al, ; Wei et al, ; Zheng, Wang, Li, Song, & Shen, ). It's worth mentioning that numerous studies have indicated the correlations between soil factors and fungal community diversity, such as soil pH (Zhang et al, ), P content (Burke, CarrinoâKyker, & Burns, ), and C/N (Yang, Cheng, Dou, & An, ); however, no similar observations were obtained in present study.…”
