  1. Note: Results show the bacteria only, fungi only, and both combined. The %SS is the sequential sum of squares (type I, ANOVA) expressed as a percentage of the total and P indicates the significance. The %SS for block and residuals are not shown and are represented by the %SS needed to achieve 100%
