Structure equation models (SEM) showing the effects of MAP, MAT, species richness (including AM-associated tree species richness, EM-associated tree species richness, and total species richness), and nitrogen deposition on the ratio of aboveground C storage to belowground C storage. A AM-RAB, the ratio of AM-associated tree aboveground C storage to belowground C storage; B EM-RAB, the ratio of EM-associated tree aboveground C storage to belowground C storage. The yellow line indicates a significant positive correlation, the blue line indicates a significant negative correlation, and the dotted line indicates a non-significant correlation. Arrow width is proportional to the strength of the relationship. Numbers adjacent to arrows denote standardized path coefficients. Significant levels are: *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001
