Fig. 2. The number of nematodes (individuals g-! dry soil; mean+S.D.) belonging to different feeding groups under different plant treatments at the end (November 2006) of the experiment. 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. 3. Soil fungal:bacterial biomass-ratio (mean+S.D.) for LF (open columns) and CG (solid columns) in August 2006. Different letters indicate differences between plant treatments (statistics calculated from both experimental sites; non- parametric Tukey test; p<0.05).

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

Fig. 5. 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"!.

Aboveground and belowground biomass, soil organic matter content (SOM) and pH of the different plant treatments (mean + S.D.) at the two study sites (LF = landfill, CG = city garden) in the end of the experiment.

Main effects of the factors “plant treatment” (P), “soil type” (S) and the interaction term “plant type x soil type” (P x S) on the abundance of various groups of soil fauna.

Main effects of the factors “plant treatment” (P), “soil type” (S) and the interaction term: “plant type x soil type” (P x S) on microbial community parameters in August 2006.

Main effects of the factors “plant treatment” (P), “soil type” (S) and the interaction term: “plant type x soil type” (P x S) on soil nutrient content and the amount of nutrients and total organic carbon (TOC) in the lysimeters (=leaching losses) and soil inorganic N leaching loss % (leaching loss of nitrate + ammounium/soil extractable ammonium + nitrate content).

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. Table D1
