Results of perMANOVAs evaluating differences in proportional morphospecies abundances between experimental treatments.

For each test, the number of plots and the number of morphospecies used in the analysis are included. The F-ratios, their significance levels (** p< 0.001), and the degrees for freedom (df) are given for each test. Paired grazing plots were evaluated with Field as a blocking factor to account for differences in baseline morphospecies’ abundances between fields. Grass treatment was evaluated separately for grazed and ungrazed plots due to the complexity of the experimental design and were blocked by treatment block.
