Fig. 6From: Agricultural management and cultivation period alter soil enzymatic activity and bacterial diversity in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) orchardsRedundancy analysis of the temporal variation in the soil characteristics of litchi orchards that were maintained under conventional (CA) and sustainable (SA) agricultural practices. 1, 2 and 3 indicate successive trimester samplings carried out on October 2016, January 2017 and April 2017, respectively. The comparison between the soil properties (pH, EC, K, total N, and OM), and AÂ enzymatic activities, BÂ the most abundant bacterial phyla, and CÂ alpha diversity of OTUs was done by RDA. The RDA plots were generated by the R software in the vegan packageBack to article page
