Table 6. Taxonomic structure of the soil bacterial community (%) highlighting genera, families, and orders that showed significant changes between the biochar treatments.
| Control | 550 BC (2%) | 350 BC (2%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (genus) Chryseobacterium | 0.0 ± 0.0 | 0.0 ± 0.0 | 1.5 ± 0.8 a |
| (genus) Flavobacterium | 0.5 ± 0.1 | 0.3 ± 0.1 | 1.2 ± 0.5 a |
| (genus) Dyadobacter | 0.5 ± 0.3 | 0.1 ± 0.0 | 1.0 ± 0.1 a |
| (family) Pseudomonadaceae | 3.0 ± 1.1a | 0.8 ± 0.1 | 4.8 ± 0.8 a |
| (order) Streptophyta | 0.2 ± 0.0 | 2.1 ± 0.5 a | 0.3 ± 0.2 |
| (genus) Bacillus | 5.5 ± 0.5 | 7.1 ± 1.8 | 4.9 ± 0.1 |
Values are % of population +/- S.E. derived from the taxonomic summaries of the three different biological replicates. Selected taxonomy is based on significant changes within phyla. Biochar amendment and no biochar amendment (control). Significant differences are noted by different letters (mean n = 3; ± s.e.).
