While the intercept was highly significant, estimates of the remaining variables were significantly related to rhizobia cell number ( p < .05). 3.4 Correlations between soil's physico‐chemical properties and Rhizobia cell number The Pearson's correlation coefficients between soil's physico‐chemical properties and the total number of nodulated units per unit per g of soil rhizobia cell number are presented in Table 4 .
