Prokaryotic and eukaryotic community structure in Bawburgh and Wytham soils. a Relative prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene abundance. b Absolute prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene abundance. c Relative eukaryotic 18S rRNA gene abundance and d absolute eukaryotic 18S rRNA gene abundance, an additional sample of Wytham soil is presented; ‘Wytham_43’ with a high proportion of macroorganism (Annelida) tissue present. Reads with Bit-score lower than 300 are clustered into ‘low-blast’ group. ‘B’ and ‘W’ indicate that the taxa in more abundant in Bawburgh or Wytham soil, respectively. *< 0.05, **< 0.01, ***< 0.001 using t test and Bonferroni correction for testing multiple comparisons
