The variables considered were soil temperature, % Water, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), Biomass C, and Biomass C/TOC. Stepwise sequential tests were
Significance of environmental variables in eight reservoirs and an adjacent stream determined with permutation tests in fitted Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) ordination (Stress = 0.0698).
The average temperatures (temp.), salinities, and live coral cover (ALCC) percentages for each island reflect the means across the sites from which corals were sampled only (n = 46 reef sites), and th
