The observed bacterial and fungal species richness, Shannon and Pielou evenness indices across rhizosphere compartments of 0, 1.5, and 3 mm away from the root growth zone. Wheat plants were grown in Chromosol and Vertosol for 10 weeks under elevated CO2 (eCO2, 800 ppm) or ambient CO2 (aCO2, 400 ppm). The diversity indices were calculated from rarefied abundance of filtered amplicon sequence variants (ASVs). Bars show the maximum (top edge) and minimum (lower edge) percentiles, and boxes the 25% and 75% percentiles. The median (50%) percentile is represented by the horizontal line within the box. ns, *, **, and *** indicate significance of two-sample Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney tests at p > 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively
