Fig. 2: Energy flux of soil fauna food-webs.

a The relationship of total energy flux with plant richness for different combinations of plant and soil history. b Total energy flux for the four community history manipulations. c–f Energy flux corresponding to predation, microbivory, herbivory and detritivory for the four community history manipulations. Black points are means with 95% HPD intervals. Groups with different red letters have mean differences whose uncertainty interval excludes zero. Across panels, n = 96.
