MANOVA (repeated-measures GLM) table of F-values of between-subject factors effects of Block (BL), plant species richness (SR), plant functional group richness (FR) and presence/absence of grasses (GR) and legumes (LE) on the biomass of microorganisms, the density of mesofauna as well as on the density and diversity of macrofauna decomposers, herbivores and predators.

Significant effects (P<0.05) of plant community properties are given in bold.

***P < 0.001,

**P<0.01,

*P<0.05. Degrees of freedom: BL = 3, SR, FR, GR, LE = 1 each. Error degrees of freedom (ER) are given in italics.
