📁 Contents of this repository:

1. R code biofilm uptake.R: R script used to perform all statistical analyses described in the study, including GLMM fitting, model selection, and model averaging.
2. Biofilm nutrient uptake.csv: CSV file containing nutrient uptake rates (SRP and NH₄⁺) for all incubations conducted under light and dark conditions.
3. Model selection.csv: CSV file used to analyze spatial and temporal variability in physicochemical and biofilm structural variables, and to explore their influence on biofilm nutrient uptake using model selection.
4. Variable legend.csv: CSV file listing and describing all variables in "Model_selection.csv", including full variable names, units, and acronyms.
5. Light-Dark uptake ratio.csv: CSV file containing the light/dark uptake ratios for NH₄⁺ and SRP, averaged per site and sampling date.
6. NH4-SRP uptake ratio.csv: CSV file containing the NH₄⁺:SRP molar uptake ratios calculated for incubations with dual nutrient additions.
7. Random structure selection.csv: CSV file used to explore random-effect structures (Site, Time, Site + Time, Site × Time) using global models prior to model selection.
