    Effect sizes of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), nitrogen+phosphorus (NP), phosphorus+potassium (PK), nitrogen+phosphorus+potassium (NPK), organic fertilizers (OF), and organic fertilizers + NPK (OF+NPK) on soil total PLFA. The error bars indicate effect sizes and 95% bootstrap confidence intervals. The effect was statistically significant if the 95%CI did not bracket zero. The dashed line is drawn at effect size = 0. The sample size for each variable is shown next to the bar.
