| Treatment | Richness (S) | Simpson (D) | Shannon–Weaver (Hs) | Evenness (Jp) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BW | C | 39 ± 0.67a* | 0.05 ± 0.005a | 3.37 ± 0.04a | 0.92 ± 0.01a |
| 0.5% | 39 ± 0.88a | 0.05 ± 0.006a | 3.33 ± 0.06a | 0.91 ± 0.02a | |
| 1.0% | 39 ± 0.67a | 0.04 ± 0.008a | 3.35 ± 0.10a | 0.92 ± 0.02a | |
| 2.0% | 34 ± 1.53b | 0.05 ± 0.003a | 3.26 ± 0.05a | 0.92 ± 0.00a |
*Values (means ± standard errors of three replicates per treatment) followed by the same letter in a column are not significantly different at P < 0.05 (Tukey’s post hoc test)
