Species (phospholipid fatty acid matrix) and constrained (environmental matrix) scores distribution for canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) axes 1 and CCA axes 2, respectively, were evaluated by two‐way permutational anova using drought history (DH) treatment and moisture levels (‘pre‐drought’, ‘drought’, ‘wet’) as factors

	Species scores				Constrained scores
	CCA1		CCA2		CCA1		CCA2
	F 1,2	P	F 1,2	P	F 1,2	P	F 1,2	P
DH treatment	0.3	ns	0.3	ns	6.6	*	16.4	***
Moisture level	99.4	***	13.0	**	77.4	***	68.9	***
Interaction	1.1	ns	1.9	ns	1.8	ns	3.9	*

Asterisks mark levels of significance (ns, not significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001).
