Table 3.

Pairwise comparisons of the Bayesian standard ellipses area (SEA_B) between the treatments testing effects of diatom and cyanobacteria addition to the control sediment for each basin (BP vs. BoS).

Treatment comparisons	Probability, BP	Difference in SEAB (%)	Probability, BoS	Difference in SEAB (%)
$\mathrm{HD}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{HDLC}$	0.52	− 2	1	− 70
$\mathrm{LD}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{LDHC}$	0.82	− 27	0.93	− 40
$\mathrm{Control}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{HDLC}$	0.61	− 10	0.99	− 60
$\mathrm{Control}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{HD}$	0.59	− 8	0.18	+ 34
$\mathrm{Control}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{LDHC}$	0.84	− 30	0.98	− 53
$\mathrm{Control}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{LD}$	0.54	− 4	0.22	− 22
$\mathrm{Control}\mathrm{vs}.\mathrm{Initial}$	0.99	32	1	21

The probability of the different SEA_B values (fold change, increase/decrease) was considered significant when > 0.95 (% Difference is shown in bold).
