Differences in the soil pH (a), soil water content (b), soil EC (c), soil microbial biomass carbon contents (d), cellulase activity (e), sucrase activity (f) and urease activity (g) of A. spinosus and A. tricolor in the monocultural or in the co-cultivated conditions (the monocultural A. spinosus, As; the monocultural A. tricolor, At; the co-cultivated A. spinosus, MixAs; the co-cultivated A. tricolor, MixAt) under different levels of drought (control, blue bars; light level of drought, orange bars; heavy level of drought, golden bars). Bars (mean with standard error, n = 3) with different lowercase letters represent statistically significant differences (P ≤ 0.05).
