Table 4. BEST BIO-ENV results for all reefs combined and the three disturbance categories separately.

Sites	Rho	p-value	Variables selected
All	0.315	<0.001	herbivore biomass, fish species richness, macroalgae cover
Undisturbed	0.515	<0.001	macroalgae cover
Recovered	0.599	<0.001	fish biomass, coral juveniles, fish species richness
Unrecovered	0.288	<0.001	herbivore biomass, coral juveniles, fish species richness

Potential predictor variables included were fish biomass, herbivore biomass, number of coral juveniles, number of coral recruits, macroalgae cover, fish species richness and CCA cover. Rho value is the spearman rank correlation, or amount of variation in coral composition/cover associated with the selected predictor variables. P-value is calculated from a permutation test.
