Coalescence effects on microbial functional traits. a Coalescence impact on metabolic profiles, assessed by Spearman’s correlation between the initial metabolic similarity (between invasive and original resident communities) and the metabolic dissimilarity between coalescent and uninvaded communities after coalescence. The (dis) similarity based on the Bray-Curtis index was calculated using the metabolism profile of 71 carbon resources for metabolic traits. b The abundance (TPM/1000) of CAZy gene families. GT, glycosyltransferase; GH, glycoside hydrolase; CBM, carbohydrate-binding module; CE, carbohydrate esterase; AA, auxiliary activities; PL, polysaccharide lyase. c The abundance of classified functions of CAZy genes. Ce, cellulolytic; He, hemicellulolytic; Li, ligninolytic; Ch, chitinolytic; Gl, glucanolytic; Pe, peptidoglycan lytic. The red and green asterisks above bars indicate a significant decreased and increase compared to the uninvaded control, respectively (“*”, p < 0.05, t-test). d The response (log fold change in relation to the uninvaded control) of different functions between day 5 (D5) and day 60 (D60) to invasions (paired t-test), suggesting the associated functioning (cellulolytic, hemicellulolytic, and ligninolytic) recovered after 60 days
