TABLE 2.

Bray–Curtis Dissimilarity quantifying the difference in forest species composition between warming and cooling trajectories at each temperature step separately for each topography and precipitation scenario. A significant difference indicates the presence of a hysteresis effect. The significance of the differences at each step was tested using a PERMANOVA
