LME table of F- and p-values.

LME table of F- and p-values on the effect of root trenching (control and trenched plots), duration of root trenching (one and three years) and forest type (young beech, old beech, unmanaged beech, coniferous) on microbial biomass (Cmic), bacterial, Gram-negative, Gram-positive, fungal, plant marker PLFAs and fungal-to-bacterial, fungal-to-plant, cyclopropyl-to-monoenoic precursor PLFA ratio (cy-to-pre) and saturated-to-mono-unsaturated PLFA ratio (sat-to-mono) in litter and soil in Hainich and Schorfheide. Significant effects are highlighted in bold.
