Table 3 Overview of the significance difference based on one-way ANOVA for the effect of nitrogen fertilizers on soil physicochemical properties and alpha diversity of microbiomes in comparison to the control treatment

From: Protist communities are more sensitive to nitrogen fertilization than other microorganisms in diverse agricultural soils
