Results of DISTLM procedure for fitting macrophyte cover biometrics to macrobenthic community characteristics for samples collected in vegetated sediments.

Macrofauna analysed in terms of density, biomass, species richness and species composition (based on double root transformed species abundances in samples data). Macrophyte cover biometrics include total macrophyte biomass, algal biomass, algal species richness, seagrass shoot density (seagr. shoot density) and seagrass above ground biomass (seagr. ab. ground biomass). Significant effects: * P<0.05, **P<0.001.
