The mean richness (± standard deviation) of the Total Bacterial and Total Fungal genera, and the genera from the CCD/lignin degrading, NH4+ producing, and AMO bacterial groups, and the genera from the CCD/WRT/lignin degrading, and ECM fungal groups in the soils of the Lowland, Upland and Riparian Forests within the Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge in the Northern Zone of Costa Rica before (Pre-) and after (Post-) Hurricane Otto hit the forests.

The differences in means is shown by the PERMANOVA Pseudo-F value, with p values, and the Hedge’s g Effect Size values for the comparisons in parentheses. Significant differences are high-lighted in bold.
