ME, MA, MI, and SC represent soil aggregate fractions with grain sizes of > 1 mm, 0.25–1 mm, 0.053–0.25 mm, and < 0.053 mm, respectively. S, H, J, and D represent richness index, Shannon diversity index, Pielou evenness index, and Simpson dominance index of soil microbial communities, respectively.
