Figure 3.
Amplitude of variation in the community structure of AOA and AOB. The fluctuations were determined by moving window analysis (MWA; Marzorati et al., 2008) based on DGGE profiles as a mean of all soils [(A); ΔtAOA = 53.65 ± 3.37%; ΔtAOB = 62.76 ± 2.10%], and separated in sandy and clayey for both AOA [(B); Δtsandy = 60.27 ± 2.97%; Δtclayey = 41.09 ± 3.92%] and AOB [(C); Δtsandy = 58.98 ± 3.01%; Δtclayey = 66.55 ± 1.18%]. Bars are SE. In the MWA each data point is in itself a comparison between two consecutive sampling times. Bars are SE.
