F-value table of linear models on the effect of block, flooding index (FI), plant functional group richness (FG), plant species richness (SR), presence of legumes (Leg), small herbs (Sh) and tall herbs (Th) on changes in basal respiration (BR), microbial biomass (Cmic), slope in microbial growth after addition of carbon (glucose, C), carbon and nitrogen (CN), carbon and phosphorus (CP) and carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (CNP) between May and July, and May and September. Significant effects (p < 0.05) are highlighted in bold and marginally significant results (p < 0.10) are given in italics.
