In our samples, Simpson indices indicated that alpha diversity increased in the presence of plants, yet with marginal significance ( P = 0.07).
In our samples, Simpson indices indicated that alpha diversity increased in the presence of plants, yet with marginal significance ( P = 0.07).
Taxonomic diversity in the vegetated soils was weakly, but consistently, higher compared to bulk soil, and differences in Simpson indices were marginally significant (Mann–Whitney test, P = 0.07, Supplementary Table S1 ).
