Table 1.

Effects of time, treatments and their interaction on soil prokaryote (16S) and microeukaryote (18S) communities’ composition. Significance of the effects was determined by PERMANOVA analysis on Bray–Curtis distance matrix. Blocks were included as a random effect in the model. Significant effects are indicated by asterisks, significance levels: *p ≤ 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
