Species richness of the experimental setups from the 2nd day of the experiment. The boxplots visually depict the distribution of data by representing the interquartile range with a box, indicating the median with a bold line inside the box, and displaying the minimum and maximum values through whiskers (points outside the whiskers’ range are outliers). Homogenous groups are indicated with different lowercase letters and based on significant differences of the number of the species among treatments (Tukey’s test, P < 0.05). Contr. standard growing medium as a control, A standard growing medium with algal inoculum, A+C standard growing medium with cotton wool and algal inoculum, U standard growing medium with Utricularia vulgaris, A+U standard growing medium with Utricularia vulgaris and algal inoculum, (N = 75).
