Soil decomposition and microbiology: a Soil organic matter (SOM) loss, b N loss, c PLFA fungal biomarkers, d PLFA bacterial biomarkers. The different mesh sizes are represented with different colours (from left to right): 1000 µm (green), 50 µm (magenta), and 1 µm (black). The given values are the means of 24 replicates. Significant differences (P < 0.05) between treatments within 1 year are indicated by different letters, and the differences between different years for the same treatment are indicated by capital letters. The error bars represent ±s.e.m. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
