  1. The Mantel test was performed using the Pearson correlation method. Carbon pools were calculated based on the Euclidean distance, and the microbial community structures (OTU level) were calculated based on the Bray-Curtis distance. P is the significance level. Values with P<0.05 are shown. ROC: root-released organic carbon; SAC: soil active carbon; SOC: soil organic carbon
