Differential response of soil microbial and animal communities along the chronosequence of <i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> at different soil depth levels in subtropical forest ecosystem.

Bathyarchaeia exhibited an increasing trend with respect to an increase in soil depth, while contrastingly, both Nitrososphaeria and Thermoplasmata reduced with the increasing soil depth ( Supplementary Fig S3 c).

• Soil biotic communities exhibited a decreasing trend in alpha diversity with increasing soil depth. • Acidobacteriia, Agaricomycetes, Bathyarchaeia, Chlorophyceae and Clitellata, were most abundant classes. • Total nitrogen, available phosphorus and pH were the most influencing factors for changes in soil biotic communities. • As compared to soil depth, stand age was not dominatingly influencing the structure of other biotic communities.
