Correlations among the principal vectors expressed under the two environmental regimes

	Vector 1	Vector 2	Vector 3	Vector 4	Vector 5	Vector 6	Vector 7	Vector 8	Vector 9
Pearson’s coefficient (flooded vs. non‐flooded)	0·9306	–0·8344	0·4618	–0·6678	–0·0912	–0·3193	–0·1581	0·9701	0·5889
(P‐value)	(0·0003)	(0·0052)	(0·2108)	(0·0494)	(0·8155)	(0·4023)	(0·6846)	(0·0000)	(0·0953)
Total variance explained for flooded (%)	40·67	21·7	11·65	9·42	5·94	4·55	3·30	1·92	0·87
Total variance explained for non‐flooded (%)	45·98	19·57	11·88	9·26	4·66	3·66	2·16	1·58	1·25

The vectors explaining the majority of the variance appeared to be highly correlated with each other. Several of the smaller vectors, however, did show very low similarity between treatments. Bold type indicates significant correlations after Bonferroni’s correction.
