Table 1 Environmental parameters on nMDS axes. Bold values indicate significant correlations between environmental parameters and nMDS axes. Scores were calculated using a linear model including both axes. Asterisks represent significance levels: * represents p-value < 0.05; ** represents p-value < 0.01; and represents p-value < 0.001.
