Table 3. Summary of factor significance for Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) of the bacterial and archaeal communities analyzed.
CCA uses as references the conditional effects: seawater, Buoy One and 5m depth (after a test of 999 permutations) for, respectively, habitat of origin, site location and depth.
