Comparisons of microbial abundances between soil and liverwort thalli. Bacterial (A), methylobacterial (B), archaeal (C), and fungal (D) abundances were quantified using a qPCR-based approach and transformed into log values. Significances in microbial abundances between soil and liverwort thalli were determined by the Kruskal Wallis test (P < 0.05) was used to test. Data are presented as the mean for each group
