Model design comprised two fixed factors: location crossed with zone (inside/outside reserve). DF degrees of freedom, SS sum of squares, MS mean squares.
SIMPER results showing the average dissimilarities (Av. Diss.) and the taxa that contributed (Cont%) with more than 10% to the observed differences between any pair of compared regions.
The first row of statistics for each group structure represents the test across the all groups comprised in that dataset, and the “pairs” column shows statistics for pairwise comparisons within the re
P values were adjusted for multiple testing using the Bonferroni method. Pairwise comparisons between sample times (i.e. T1-T6) include only untreated microcosms. Post-treatment groups include both T5
