Table S3. ANOVA statistics (F and P values) testing for the response of soil microbial and
invertebrate variables to site age for the Cooloola and Franz Josef chronosequences. Analyses
are based on 6 replicates per site for the microbial and nematode communities (df = 8,45) and
12 replicates per site for the springtails and mites (df = 8,99). NMDS = Non-metric

Figures
Figure S1. Composition of tree families for each of nine sites for the Cooloola and Franz
Josef chronosequences. Data is based on biomass estimates from a 20 m × 20 m quadrat at
each site of the chronosequence. Note that there was no tree biomass at the 1 yr Cooloola site
and no vegetation measurements were done at the 1000 yr Franz Josef site. ‘Other’ represents
various families that individually contributed less than 10% of the total biomass.

Figure S2. Biomass of bacterial and fungal groups in relation to site age (years) across the
Cooloola and Franz Josef chronosequences. Data points are means of n = 6. Error bars are SE
which are sometimes smaller than the data points. Significant differences between sites are
indicated by different letters based on Tukey’s HSD (P < 0.05) following ANOVA (Table
S2).
