 After cultivating Sanqi, bacterial and fungal copy numbers, α-and β-diversity were unchanged in P. armandii soil but significantly decreased in P. kesiya soil. Sanqi cultivation increased microbial network complexity in P. armandii rather than P. kesiya soil, while maintaining network stability. Differential metabolites increased significantly in the rhizosphere and bulk soil of P. armandii after Sanqi planting. After cultivating Sanqi, soil enzymes, metabolites, and edaphic factors increased the complexity of the microbial network in P. armandii soil.

Keywords: Sanqi cultivation, microbial community, differential metabolites, network complexity, network stability
