Fig. 7. Effect of sunn hemp hay on nematode communities. Temporal distribution of: (a) nematode richness, and (b) diversity inside the sunn hemp bag; (c) maturity index and (d) structure index inside the sunn hemp bag (B), soil under the sunn hemp bag (SI), and soil without the sunn hemp bag (SO); numbers of (e) bacterivorous nematode, (f) fungivorous nematode, (g) omnivorous nematode inside the sunn hemp bag; and (h) percentage of herbivores in B, SI and SO. Values followed by different letters are different among sampling dates (graphs with single lines) or among samples within a sampling dates (graphs with multiple lines) at P < 0.05 according to Waller-Duncan k-ratio (k = 100) t-test.
