Summary of ANOVAs testing for the effect of protection on multivariate estimates of spatial variability for the lower midlittoral and the shallow infralittoral rocky assemblages.

= Protected locations; Cs = Unprotected locations. Terms already involved in significant higher-order interactions were not reported. Significant P-values are given in bold. SNK pair-wise tests for significant interaction terms involving the factor Protection (i.e. only T × P × Sc, in the lower midlittoral rocks) are given below in the table. P
