Hi all,

I had 84 samples collected in 7 different sites.
In each sample were individuated the different fungal species and recorded.
I would test if exist a real difference between the sites and if exist a
sort of site effect that structure the fungal communities...
Then, I did adonis test

> adonis(community.sq ~ location, data=env.table, permutations=999)

Call:
adonis(formula = community.sq ~ location, data = env.table, permutations =
999)

          Df SumsOfSqs MeanSqs F.Model      R2 Pr(>F)
location   6    12.593 2.09886  6.8867 0.34922  0.001 ***
Residuals 77    23.467 0.30477         0.65078
Total     83    36.060                 1.00000
---
Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1



The significance is  R2=0.349 at P=0.001
Can I assure that exist a strong site effect in structuring the communities
in each site?


Thanks for helping,

G.
