Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) in Sphagnum warnstorfii within the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Slovakia (CZ-SK-BG dataset; df = degrees of freedom, SS = sum of squares, MS = mean sums of squares)

Source	df	SS	MS	Estimated variance	Percentage of variation	Fixation index	P-value
(A) Three-level AMOVA for countries and individual fens
Among countries	2	26.048	13.024	0.09	0.04	PhiRT = 0.038	<0.001
Among fens within countries	64	315.036	4.922	0.928	0.39	PhiPR = 0.407	<0.001
Within fens	193	261.327	1.354	1.354	0.57	PhiPT = 0.429	<0.001
(B) Among and within moss patches in one fen
Among patches	66	379.663	5.752	1.868	0.91	–	–
Within patches	133	25.167	0.189	0.189	0.09	PhiPT = 0.908	<0.010
