Results The effect of environmental changes on soil physicochemical indices and gene abundances In the first experiment, for the six soil physicochemical indices (total C, total N, NH 4 + -N, NO 3 - -N, water contents and pH), as PFG number decreased from 3 to 0, only NO 3 - -N content showed an increasing trend, although its difference among the four PFG gradients was non-significant ( P >0.05; Fig. 1a1–f1 ).
