More specifically, we found up to a 40% reduction in the microbial biomass from all the manure samples (2408±175.7 μg g −1 dw) to earthworm casts (1295±98.3 μg g −1 dw) ( Table 1 ); although the interaction between the type of manure and earthworm treatment was close to being significant ( Table 2 ).
