Fig. E1. Soil respiration rates under natural and artificial substrates. Numbers refer to particular O. biennis genotypes. H2O – distilled water, MC – methyl cellulose, GA – gallic acid, GM – glucose monohydrate, AA – amino acid mixture (see Methods). We show the mean respiration rate of each substrate (n = 16), plus the average standard error (SE) across all means in the lower right hand corner of the figure. Even after removing an outlying genotype from the analysis (#6), plant genotype still explained a large proportion of the variation in respiration rate (R² = 0.28, P <0.001).
