Box plots showing the influence of crop rotation on bacterial (column A) and fungal alpha diversity (column B) within each field location and compartment. Each box plot shows alpha diversity based on the Chao1 diversity index and includes all samples treated with or without straw and collected at different time points. The median as well as the 25^th and 75^th percentile of the samples is presented, individual data points outside of this range are given as mean ± standard deviation of four replicate samples. Significant differences due to crop rotations within one compartment (bulk soil or rhizosphere) are noted.
