Fig. 3 — Multiple PCA’s of NZ and SC C18 pos and neg matrices showing clustering of sites in both ranges with 95% confidence ellipses. PC 1 and PC 2 scores for each, explain the observed variance between clusters. For NZ C18 pos (a) MU and WH clearly separate but with a degree of overlap for QU and WU. NZ C18 neg (b), separation is less well defined except for WH. SC C18 pos reveals BE, with the greatest separation but considerable overlap with the remaining three clusters. SC C18 neg separation is the least well defined. PERMANOVA (999 permutations) provides verification of the robustness of the cluster formations. For NZ C18 pos, F = 28.23, p = 0.001; NZ C18 neg F = 15.87, p = 0.001; SC C18 pos F = 17.86, p = 0.001 and SC C18 neg F = 9.48, p = 0.001. New Zealand CP sites are Mangaturuturu (MU), Waihohonu (WH), Waiouru (WU) and Quarry (QU). Scotland sites are, Ballogie Estate (BE), Glenturret (GT), Glensaugh (GS) and Creag Meagaidh (CM).
