From: Natural selenium stress influences the changes of antibiotic resistome in seleniferous forest soils
Structural equation models (SEM) showing relationships between chemical and biological parameters. a Direct and indirect effect of soil properties, selenium resistance genes, bacterial abundance, and MGEs on the pattern of ARGs. b The standardized total effects on ARGs R2 values are the explained proportion of variance. Significance levels of each path are indicated: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. The hypothetical models fit the data well and were examined by CMIN/DF = 1.475, RMSEA = 0.075, AGFI = 0.96
