Fig. 2

Soil basal respiration (a), microbial biomass (b), soil decomposition rate (c) and protozoa abundance (d) in response to pesticide seed dressings in microcosms without (−C) or with collembola (+C), without (−EW) or with earthworms (+EW). Mean ± SD, n = 5. Horizontal lines indicate mean comparisons between earthworm treatments when interactions were significant: * denotes significant difference, (*) marginally significant difference, ns no significant difference
