Table 2 Variation in the root-associated bacterial community of apple saplings linked to treatment and sampling timepoint (TP). Differences in beta diversity are first shown related to the combined variables treatment and timepoint (Grouped) in the L- and T-compartment. Below, treatment effects at the individual timepoints are listed. Effect sizes were assessed by PERMANOVA based on DEICODE distance matrices. Significant results (p < 0.05) are in bold
