Identification of indicator microbiome in this temporal survey. The ratios of both abundance (%) and richness of the indicator microbiome phylotypes in the community are reported in the pie charts. The upset plot denotes the overlap of phylotypes between individual fertilizer-specific indicator microbiome. Phylogeny of indicator microbiome identified in this temporal survey (d). The tree shows the phylogenetic relationships of OTUs (n = 604) persistently present in individual fertilizer type. Ring “Phylum” indicates the most closely related bacterial type strain retrieved from GenBank, with sequence identity > 97% and 98.5% colored in black in adjacent ring “Identify”. Ring “Correlation” showed the spearman correlation coefficient between the proportion of individual phylotype and crop yield as well as multiple soil nutrient variables (TOC, TN, TP, TK). Ring “Abundance (%)” represent the proportion of individual phylotype in bacterial community. Blank cells in rings “Identity”, “Correlation” represent bacterial phylotypes that failed to match the threshold, i.e., sequence identity > 97% and 98.5% or statistical significance P < 0.05
