File S1 - Wetlands in Changed Landscapes: The Influence of Habitat Transformation on the Physico-Chemistry of Temporary Depression Wetlands

This file contains Appendix S1–S4. Appendix S1. Data for the candidate covariables incorporated into the analyses of this study. Time was incorporated as a quantitative covariable measured as days since first sampling event (‘date sampled’ is provided for general reference). dd - decimal degrees. Appendix S2. Ordinal scores for each type of land cover around wetlands used to proxy habitat transformation gradients. Natural – indigenous vegetation; Invaded – alien invasive vegetation; Agriculture – land converted to agriculture; Urban – land converted to urban surfaces. The areal cover of these categories was scored within 100 and 500 m radii of each wetland edge using an ordinal scale: 0 - none; 1 – sparse cover (66%). Appendix S3. Environmental variables measured in this study. CV – complex vegetation biotope; SV – simple vegetation biotope; OW – open water biotope; BU – benthic un-vegetated biotope; TSA – total surface area; Max. depth – maximum depth. Appendix S4. Summary statistics of the physico-chemical variables (untransformed data) collected in this study, reported per wetland cluster (defined by terrestrial vegetation group). EC – electrical conductivity. (DOCX)
