From: Host plants directly determine the α diversity of rhizosphere arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in the National Tropical Fruit Tree Field Genebank

Fig. 5

The boxplot illustrates the α diversity observed within the AMF communities of 12 fruit trees. The included α diversity indices encompass richness, the Shannon index, Simpson’s index, and Pielou's evenness. The presented data represent the means derived from 5 replicates, accompanied by their corresponding standard errors. In the case of the same α diversity index, identical lowercase letters displayed on the bars indicate the absence of significant differences between two plant species (P < 0.05). The results of the normality test and homoscedasticity test for the 4 α diversity indices are comprehensively outlined in Additional file 4: Table S1. The abbreviations corresponding to the 12 plants are documented in the Materials and methods section
