Fig. 1: Location of sites and correlation of soil functions.

Pairwise relationships (Pearson correlation coefficients) between soil functions in grasslands and croplands in a the European survey (LUCAS) and b the field experiment (GCEF). Stars reflect significant relationships. The seven variables are labeled as follows: Mic Resp soil microbial respiration, Cel Cellulase, Pho acid phosphatase, Xyl Xylosidase, Nag N-acetylglucosaminidase, WSA water-stable aggregates, Mic biomass soil microbial biomass.
