Table 3 α diversity analysis data of two groups

	Group C	Group D	P value
ACE	2935.84	4496.51	< 0.05
Simpson	0.96	0.93	< 0.05
Shannon	6.98	6.59	> 0.05

ACE index: Used to assess species abundance, the larger the value, the higher the abundance; Simpson index: Used to assess species diversity, the larger the value, the higher the diversity; Shannon index: Used to assess species diversity, the larger the value, the lower the diversity.
