Table 1. Bacterial richness and diversity index for 16S region libraries in the soil from each site after fire.

Years after fire	No. of Sequences^a	OTUs coverage (%)	Normalization^b
Years after fire	No. of Sequences^a	OTUs coverage (%)	Observed OTUs	Estimated OTUs	Shannon	Shannon evenness
2	39762 ± 3799	0.98	1641 ± 34^c	2369 ± 54^c	5.2 ± 0.2^c	0.69 ± 0.03^c
60	32269 ± 1974	0.98	1524 ± 124^d	2027 ± 138^d	5.3 ± 0.1^c	0.72 ± 0.01^c

^aAverage number of sequence obtained from the three replicates in each site with standard deviation.

^bData were calculated at 3% genetic distance level with standard deviation based on the same number of sequences from each replicate (27699/sample) in Mothur. OTUs containing singleton sequence were discarded.

Different letters (c, d and e) in each column represent significant difference level at 0.05 between each site.
