Data are presented as means ± S.D. (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant differences between samples exposed to various levels of N addition under each temperature treatment (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA, LSD test). Data in bold format represent significant differences with 0 (p < 0.05, t-test).
