Fig.1

Changes of nematode abundance in different treatments (n=3, means + 1SE). Results of Three way-ANOVAs with significant effects of factors (litter, insecticide and fungicide) and their interactions are shown: L, litter addition; I, insecticide treatment; F, fungicide treatment; L×I, interaction between litter addition and insecticide; L×F, interaction between litter addition and fungicide; I×F, interaction between insecticide and fungicide; L×I×F, interaction between litter addition, insecticide and fungicide.*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01, ns, non-significant. Different letters (a,b etc.) show significant differences among different treatments with and without litter addition, respectively, as determined by Tukey’s honestly significant difference test, P<0.05.
