  1. Abbreviations: Df, degrees of freedom; F, F-test statistic; MS, mean squares; P, proportion of randomization trials with more extreme values of F; SS, sums of squares. There were two sites at the extremities of the experimental transect. Microcosms could be transplanted from one site to the other, and/or closed to colonization.
