Figure 2

Correlations among Cmic, Nmic and Pmic for litter communities ((a–c) light grey circles, dashed line, n = 40) and soil communities ((d–f) dark grey circles, full line, n = 39). Slopes significantly different from 1 are displayed in boldface: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Diff.slopes indicate differences between slopes when comparing litter to soil (a–d, b–e, c–f).
