marginally significantp = 0.05
Kruskal-Wallis tests comparing alpha diversity across sites were not significant for Shannon (Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.2) or Faith’s PD (Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.1), however, evenness was marginally significant (Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.05), with TN showing significantly higher diversity than YI (post-hoc Dunn’s test p = 0.03) ( Fig 5 and Table B in S1 Dataset ).
