Figures & data

Table 1. Proximity to Artocarpus mariannensis trees and soil chemical traits in Guam. Home soils were collected underneath mature trees. Away soils were collected 30 m and 60 m from focal trees. Means ± SE, n = 8.

Figure 1. The influence of proximity to Artocarpus mariannensis, Elaeocarpus joga, or Serianthes nelsonii trees on soil chemical traits in karst soils on Guam. Home soils (shaded bars) were collected underneath the trees, and away soils (white bars) were collected 30 m and 60 m from focal trees. (a) Total nitrogen; (b) Net nitrification; and (c) Net mineralization. P-value determined by Mann-Whitney U test.
