UU, unclipped-unwarmed communities; UW, unclipped-warmed communities; CU, clipped-unwarmed communities; CW, clipped-warmed communities. Bold values represent significance at P ≤ 0.05. F, F-test statistics; Pr(>F), p value, the probability of obtaining a larger F value from permutations than the F value based on actually observed data.
