Mixed effects model results of community response variables, as predicted by wolf spider density (SD; reference category: low SD), warming (reference category: ambient temperature), and average soil moisture. All community response variables were measured in the field during the second summer of experimental treatment. Collembola, oribatid mites, predatory mites, and soil-dwelling intermediate predators were extracted from the upper organic soil layer; densities (individuals per cubic centimeter of soil) are expressed as the average from the June and July sampling periods. Surface-active intermediate predator abundance is the average total abundance from several bouts of live pitfall trapping. Fungal and bacterial biomass (mg per gram of soil) were sampled from the upper organic soil layer. Model results with the reference category for the wolf SD treatment as the control SD are shown in SI Appendix, Table S5.
