Taxonomic composition and ecological importance of bacterial and fungal microbiomes. a Temporal dynamics of both bacterial and fungal community composition at two study sites. “XC” represents site “Xuchang”, “QJ” represents site “Qujing”. Low abundance phyla/classes with less than 1% of the total sequences across all samples are grouped into “Other”. b Results from random forest modeling analyses aiming to identify the importance of community composition of bacterial and fungal taxa in predicting crop yield. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001. Increase in the percentage of MSE is equal to the increase in the percentage of the mean square error
