Table 2. Results of factorial ANOVA evaluating the interactive effect of water addition (+W: future conditions) and treatments (non-sterilized, sterilized and re-inoculated sterilized soils) on (A) photochemical performance, measured as maximum quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II (PSII), and (B) the total biomass of Colobanthus quitensis.
