Table 3.
Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the severity and frequency of disturbance on the logit transformed percentage cover of species groups over the 18 month experimental period.
| Species | Time (T)* frequency (F) | T* severity (S) | T*F*S | F*S | F*S 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ecklonia radiata | 0.001 | < 0.001 | 0.005 | 0.129 |
|

Canopy-forming Fucoids |
0.007 | 0.015 | 0.007 | 0.396 |
|
| Bare rock | < 0.001 | 0.596 | 0.020 | 0.138 |

T Time, F Frequency, S Severity. p values < 0.05 are in bold. Summary table of results of each two-way ANOVA for the cover of various species. Each dot represents the six time points analysed: Initial, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 months post final disturbance. A clear dot represents probabilities > 0.05 and black dot represents p < 0.05. No analyses were run and table cells are left blank for species that did not show an interaction with time. The residual df was 75 with urchin density included as a co-variate and 80 without.
