Long-Term Effects of Periodical Fires on Archaeal Communities from Brazilian Cerrado Soils

Table 2

α-Diversity analysis of archaeal amoA gene sequences from Cerrado sensu stricto soils in both conditions analyzed in this study. C = Control area, protected from fire for more than 20 years; Q = Burned Area, biennially burned. Measures were calculated independently for each replicate and the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the indicators are shown.
