Table 2.

Per species results of general linear models (absolute abundances; above) and negative-binomial generalized linear models (proportional abundances; below) modelling the abundances of root-feeding, bacterivorous, fungivorous and predatory-omnivorous nematodes. Included factors are soil (S), plant origin (O), population (P) and the origin*soil and population*soil interactions
