Results from the SIMPER routine performed with multivariate data from both Panama and Virginia to identify which species or FG contributed more (≥10%) to observed changes in community composition between untreated controls (D0) and highest disturbance (D3).

Taxa classified as native (N), non-indigenous (NIS) and cryptogenic (C) based on literature. Contribution (%) and direction of change (+ positive; - negative) are indicated (n = 4 in Virginia; n = 6 in Panama).
