Abundance [number g-1 dry soil (±SEM)] of Folsomia candida, Folsomia fimentaria, Friesea mirabilis, Isotoma virdis and Protophorura armata, and species diversity* in un-inoculated, Phanerochaete velutina- and Resinicium bicolor-inoculated mesocosms. Different superscript letters indicate significant (P < 0.05) differences across different climatic treatments (i.e. within rows; three-way ANOVA and Tukey’s pairwise comparisons). Climatic factors are: control, C; elevated temperature, T; wetting, W; drying, D.
* Simpson’s reciprocal D = 1/i=1nPi2, where Pi is the proportion of individuals in the ith species and n is the total number of species
