TABLE 4. Species level correlations. Each column lists the Pearson correlations, r, for alpha diversity and beta diversity. Values in parentheses correspond to correlations with rarefied diversity. All correlations are significant (P>0.001, two-tailed test), except alpha diversity:mean depth, and beta diversity:mean depth, mean sand, silt, and clay pct.4 Species level correlations. Each column lists the Pearson correlations, r, for alpha diversity and beta diversity. Values in parthenthases correspond to correlations with rarefied diversity. All correlations are significant (P>0.001, two-tailed test), except alpha diversity:mean depth, and beta diversity:mean depth,mean sand, silt, and clay pct.
