Mapping the Fundamental Niches of Two Freshwater Microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris (Trebouxiophyceae) and Peridinium cinctum (Dinophyceae), in 5-Dimensional Ion Space
Table 2
ANOVA P-values, regression coefficients and model fit diagnostics for Peridinium cinctum specific growth rate, μ (d−1) and relative cell density (percent of the maximum) for combined, reduced cubic x quadratic Scheffé polynomial models. Only third order or lower terms significant at for at least one response are presented. Note that the single component p-values (i.e., NO3, PO4, etc.) are covered under “Linear Mixture”. The data were transformed with an inverse square root function before analysis; thus, regression coefficients with lesser values indicate greater effects. C.V. = coefficient of variance, n/s = .
