Rarefaction curve analysis for forest soil libraries with OTUs formed at an evolutionary distance ≤0.03 (or about >97% similarity). Site notation is as follows: (1) hardwood forest, and (2) Calocedrus and (3) Cryptomeria plantations in Wulai with warm and perhumid conditions; (4) hardwood forest in Huoshaoliao (with climate similar to Wulai but with higher disturbance); (5) hardwood forest and (6) Calocedrus plantation in Lienhuachi (with warmer and less precipitation conditions than in Wulai); (7) Chamaecyparis forest in Yuanyang Lake (with perhumid and cooler conditions, as compared with Wulai). Values for Huoshaoliao, Lienhuachi and Yuanyang Lake forests were calculated from data in Lin et al. ([2010, 2011b, c]).
