Organic carbon (Corg) content (n=4) of the Ss and the Ut3 after application of 10/30 t DS 1500 m–3 of compost (SCA = soil compost amendment; C10, C30) and 40/120 m3 OS 1500 m–3 of digestate (SDA = soil digestate amendment; D40, D120). Different letters (a, b) indicate statistically significant differences (p<0.05) of the SCM and SDM in comparison to the reference (R). Boxes represent values within the 25th and 75th percentile; the whiskers indicate the range, and horizontal bars inside the boxes represent the median values.

Unterschiedliche Buchstaben (ab) zeigen statistisch signifikante Unterschiede (p <0,05) von SCM und SDM im Vergleich zur Referenz (R). Die Boxen zeigen den Median und die 25/75%-Perzentile, die Whisker die Ober- und Untergrenze der Messwerte. Die horizontalen Balken in den Boxen kennzeichnen die Mittelwerte.
