Notes: Table 4 represents the effects of AF on microbial richness and diversity. The microbial richness was represented with the Chao 1 index and the Observed_species index, and the microbial diversity was represented with the Shannon and Simpson diversity indices. The letters A, B, C and D represent the treatment groups. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the microbial richness and diversity.
