Table 1 PSR richness GLM results for oomycetes (a), fungal pathogens (b), and fungal saprotrophs (c).

From: Root pathogen diversity and composition varies with climate in undisturbed grasslands, but less so in anthropogenically disturbed grasslands

  1. These tests are univariate tests including either the interaction of the predictor variable and disturbance (if across all sites), or only the predictor variable in determining PSR richness. Tests of all samples include a random effect of disturbance nested within site; tests of remnant or disturbed samples include a random effect of plot. The model distribution is poisson. All significant predictors are in bold.
