Visual patterns reflected significant differences between years, with pairwise comparisons revealing no significant differences in benthic communities between 2015 and 2016 ( p = 0.79), yet significant and nearly significant differences between 2015 and 2020 ( p = 0.04) and 2016 and 2020 ( p = 0.06), respectively (Fig. 3 , Table S3).
