Only orders for which significant differences were found are shown.

b

Effect of land use on relative abundance evaluated by linear or generalized linear model or by the Kruskal-Wallis test (*).

c

Pairwise comparisons by post hoc Tukey test for linear/generalized linear models or P values Bonferroni-corrected for Kruskal-Wallis. Differences were considered significant at a P value of ≤0.05.

d

The 10 most abundant orders comprised 94.4% of the sequences in this phylum.

e

Actinomycetales, Solirubrobacterales, and unclassified orders comprised 99.3% of the sequences within Actinobacteria.

f

Burkholderiales, Myxococcales, Rhodospirillales, Rhizobiales, Sphingomonadales, unclassified orders within the Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma- and Deltaproteobacteria classes, and unclassified orders comprised 90.6% of sequences within Proteobacteria.
