Composition of the archaeal (a) (ASV level), the bacterial (b) (phylum-level, considering only phyla with ≥ 10 ASVs or relative abundances ≥ 1%, the rest of the bacterial phyla were pooled as “others”) and the fungal (c) (class-level, considering only classes with ≥ 10 ASVs or relative abundances ≥ 1%, the rest of the fungal classes were pooled as “others”) communities associated with the degradation of a bio-based and biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) based on relative abundance. Data are presented for initial soil (initial S), control soils (control S), control soils with (NH4)2SO4 addition (control SN), soils under PS treatment (S–PS), soils under PSN treatment (S–PSN), PBSA plastics under PS treatment (P–PS), and PBSA plastics under PSN treatment (P–PSN)
