Mean and standard deviation of the qPCR quantification (copies ng−1 DNA) of the 16S rRNA genes of Archaea and Bacteria for the primary forest, pasture, Amazonian Dark Earth, and várzea sites using no (control) and 200 ng μL−1 of BSA; followed by the results (degrees of freedom, F-values, and p-values) of the two-way mixed-design ANOVA of the aligned rank-transformed data.
