Table 4. Summary of ordination analysis. RDA and CCA were performed for each and all of the 3 factors (site, type of substrate material, attachment position on the platform) to determine the explained variance in microbial community composition at the phylum and genus levels, respectively. Only the first and second axes were shown. P-value was calculated based on Monte Carlo test for all canonical axes.
