Community composition in control and restored microcosms. (a) At day 45 in control microcosms established with communities from soils A and B, at different dilution levels. (b) At day 105 in control and restored microcosms containing the pre-established communities from soil A. Samples are labeled according to the following scheme: AD₁InAD₂ stands for microcosms established with Dilution 1 from soil A and re-inoculated with Dilution 2 from soil A. (c) At day 105 in control and restored microcosms containing the pre-established communities from soil B. Samples are labeled according to the following scheme: BD₁InAD₂ stands for microcosms established with Dilution 1 from soil B and re-inoculated with Dilution 2 from soil A.
