Claim · model-written summary
Natural Protea sites had higher mite diversity than cultivated sites, significantly so in the rhizosphere or with intensive management.
Verbatim
e0“Natural sites harboured higher mite diversity than cultivated sites, although this was only significant for those mites associated with the rhizosphere or when Protea crops were intensively managed.”
