Archaeal Community Changes Associated with Cultivation of Amazon Forest Soil with Oil Palm

Table 1

Number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs), Good’s coverage estimator, OTU richness indices (Chao1, ACE), and Inverse Simpson and Shannon diversity indices for archaeal communities in native forest soil and soil under oil palm cultivation.

Sample	OTUs	Good’s coverage (%)	Chao1	ACE	Inverse Simpson	Shannon
Native forest	821	98.71	2,124	4,645	26.45	4.22
Oil palm-cultivated area	253	99.72	424	674	15.47	3.31
