Soil inorganic nitrogen (NO3, NH4) content (wg g~! dry soil, mean + S.D.) under different plant treatments at the three (August 2005, November 2005, June 2006) samplings in the two study sites (CG = city garden and LF = land fill). Different letters indicate differences (a non-parametric Tukey test with combined data of CG and LF; p< 0.05) between the plant treatments within a sampling time.

Bars sharing the same letter are not significantly dif- ferent (p<0.05) between plant treatments using non-parametric Tukey test. Data combines results from both experimental sites.

Fig. 4. Biomass (wg Cg-! SOM dry weight, mean+S.D.) of the three energy chan- nels at the two study sites (CG and LF) in August 2006. FE= fungal energy channel (biomass of fungi- and fungal-feeding nematodes), BE= bacterial energy channel (biomass of bacteria and bacterial-feeding nematodes), RE=root energy channel (biomass of root feeding nematodes). Different letters indicate differences between plant treatments (non-parametric Tukey test; p<0.05) separately for different energy channels. Data combines results from both study sites. In November 2005, soil under Lotus plants was significantly higher in ammonium and nitrate than in Calluna and Picea, Holcus or

Leaching of (a) nitrate (gm? day—', mean+S.D.) and (b) ammonium (wg m? day~', mean+S.D.) and (c) soil daily inorganic nitrogen leaching loss % (leaching loss of nitrate+ammonium pgm? day~!/soil nitrate + ammonium con- tent; mean+S.D.) from the rhizosphere of the different plant communities at three sampling times. Different letters indicate differences (non-parametric Tukey test; p<0.05) between plant treatments within a sampling time. Data combines results from the two study sites. The amount (mean +S.D.) of nitrate leached through the soil weeded soil in November 2005 was 1090 + 1300 pg m? day"!.
