From: Land use driven change in soil pH affects microbial carbon cycling processes
Land use impact on edaphic properties and microbial traits. Fold change of various edaphic properties and microbial physiological traits in the hypothesized categories of effects of land use intensification. Displayed here is the fold change in the measured parameter on land use intensification for 21 comparable local land use contrasts (no. of contrasts—type 1 (a): 11, type 2 (b): 6, and type 3 (c): 4; Table 1) that was calculated as the ratio of mean parameter values from low and high intensity treatments with three replicates each. Gray points represent means of fold change for each contrast, colored points represent the means across all contrasts, medians are marked by the vertical line inside the box, boxplots show quartile values for each parameter, and the whiskers extend to the highest and lowest values across all contrasts. Dotted line is the boundary indicating identical parameter values across the land use contrasts
