the biomarker indicative of fungi, polyenoic, unsaturated fattyacids (Federle et al., 1986) and the actinomycete marker,
18:0 10Me (Vestal and White, 1989), increased in the plantation soils compared to the forest. Within the plantations,
the fungal marker increased and the actinomycete marker decreased in the bare soils relative to the soils with mature
plants (Table 2).
