Figure 4. Relative abundance of nematodes in geometric and biomass classes for the reference and experimental colonisation samples, with indication of the respective depth (0–5 cm, 5–10 cm).

(A) Length/Width geometric classes (µm), (B) Length geometric classes (µm), (C) Width geometric classes (µm) and (D) Biomass classes (µg dry weight).The relative abundances are based on 372, 228 and 194 individual measurements in the reference, the 0–5 cm colonisation and the 5–10 cm colonisation category, respectively.
