Fig. 3: Relationships between soil prey and predator diversity as influenced by nutrient enrichment.

a Relationship between microbial diversity and microbivorous diversity. b Relationship between prey diversity and predator diversity. The averaging approach (see “Methods” for details) was also used to calculate microbial and microbivorous nematode diversity, and prey (microbes, bacterivores, fungivores and plant parasites) and predator (omnivores and predators) diversity. Linear regression model with two-sided test was used for the statistical analysis, and multiple R-squared was used. Relationships are denoted with solid lines and fit statistics (R2 and P values). The solid line represents the significant linear regression (P < 0.05). n = 40 independent soil samples for regression model. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
