General patterns of microbial alpha-diversity during reforestation of the ex-arable land and at a fine scale of single trees. a Variation in the alpha-diversity of soil bacteria, archaea, and fungi during reforestation of ex-arable land were estimated via linear mixed-effects models, with samples from the same tree (reforested soils) or same core (arable land) set as random effects. Boxplots that do not share a letter are significantly different (P < 0.05). b Vertical and horizontal spatial distribution of Shannon index for bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities around the tree in reforested soils. The intensity of the color from blue to red is proportional to the value of Shannon index from small to large
