S3). The RS and RL indices for taxa with relative abundance > 0.1% were calculated for both AOA and AOB using the var- iation of relative abundance among groups. For AOA, the Nitrososphaera subcluster 4, 1, and 8 had higher RS indices (0.53–0.75), while the Nitrosopumilus and Nitrososphaera cluster 2 had very low or negative RS values (Fig. 7). Similarly, among the AOB, three clusters (Nitrosospira cluster 3a, 3b, and Nitrosomonas europaea/Nitrosococcus mobilis cluster) showed higher RS indices (0.42–0.81), while the other two AOB clusters had lower RS values (Fig. 7). With the exception of Nitrososphaera subcluster 4 and Nitrosotalea, both AOA and AOB clusters with higher RS indices showed lower RL values and vice versa. RDA was performed to evaluate the relationships of the dom- inant AOA and AOB taxa (relative abundance > 0.1%) with soil properties (Fig. 8). The measured soil variables explained 56.3 and 49.4% of the total variance on the key taxa distribution for AOA and AOB, respectively. Among the soil variables, NH + (pseudo F = 9.4, P = 0.001; pseudo F = 4.5, P = 0.002, respec- tively) and Fe2+/Fe3+ (pseudo F = 5.9, P = 0.002; pseudo F = 2.7, P = 0.038, respectively) had the highest explanatory power. For AOA, soil NH + and Fe2+/Fe3+ were mainly positively correlated with the Nitrosopumilus cluster. The two most abundant AOA taxa of Nitrososphaera subclusters 4 and 8 showed negative correlations with soil pH, which explained 12.9% of the distri- bution (pseudo F = 2.7, P = 0.055). For AOB, soil NH + and Fe2+/Fe3+ were negatively correlated with the dominant taxon Nitrosospira cluster 3a and positively correlated with Nitrosomonas europaea/Nitrosococcus mobilis cluster. Discussion Faster Recovery of AOA than AOB In this study, the recovery of AOA and AOB after disturbance was assessed with respect to gene abundance, community di- versity, and composition. In general, the AOA showed higher ability to recover from flooding than AOB. Disturbance by flooding exhibited a predictable negative ef- fect on both AOA and AOB abundance. However, the abun- dance of AOA and AOB showed a tendency to return back to pre-disturbance levels after the flooding receded. It was notewor- thy that a significant increase of AOA abundance in the recovery group was observed comparing with the flooding group. This was not observed for AOB, suggesting a better recovery of AOA abundance. Unlike the negative effect on gene abundance, the flooding increased the alpha-diversity. The hi...
