Correlation between soil water content and ecosystem multifunctionality and bacterial diversity metrics.

<p>Ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) and all three bacterial diversity metrics (Shannon H, Chao1 estimated richness, Pielou J) were tested for normality. Variables that were normally distributed (organic horizon Shannon H, Chao1 estimated richness, and Pielou J and mineral soils Shannon H) used a Pearson correlation test, and variables that were not normally distributed (organic horizon EMF and mineral soils EMF, Chao1 estimated richness, and Pielou J) used a Spearman correlation test.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
