Two-way ANOVA analysis of the indices used for the Community Level Physiological Profiling (CLPP; Biolog method) in the studied soils (average values; 𝑛=9).

ns: not significant; mean values followed by different letters are significantly different between the two management systems. H′: Shannon’s substrate diversity index; S: substrate richness; E: substrate evenness; AWCD: average well colour development.
