Effect of pH on soil bacterial diversity

Table 3 Data sets used for pyrosequencing and bacterial diversity indices

Samples	No. of reads		No. of OTUs	Richness (Margalef)	Evenness (Pielou)	Diversity index
Samples	Raw	Chimera removed	No. of OTUs	Richness (Margalef)	Evenness (Pielou)	Simpson (D = 1/λ)^a	Shannon-Weaver (H’)
Site 1	1465	1428	165	22.58	0.93	0.99	4.76
Site 2	6149	5842	66	7.49	0.64	0.85	2.65

^aReciprocal of Simpson index and Shannon-Weaver index, higher numbers represent greater diversity
