Fig. 3. Heterotrophic plate counts beneath transplant canopies for no compost (NC) (circle) and compost (C) (triangle) treatments and for unplanted controls (U) (square) throughout the revegetation trial. Error bars represent one standard deviation (n = 4 for treatments NC and C, n = 2 for the unplanted controls except for *n = 1, **n = 4).
