Environmental descriptors, measurement units, and data sources.
All of the variables except depth were extracted at the surface and the bottom.

Table 3.
Results of the FKM membership grades (FKM_A, FKM_B, and FKM_C) and habitat typology (Typ) to which the outcrop has been assigned based on expert knowledge (Habitats A, B, and C).
The mismatches between the expert typology and the FKM results are in bold.
Fig 3.
Entire model adjusted to R2 = 0.79, first axis adjusted R2 = 0.64, second axis adjusted R2 = 0.14. Both axes are significant at p<0.001 after 999 permutations (original copyright 2015).
Table 4.
Portions of the variance explained by the three groups of variables (surface parsimonious model, bottom parsimonious model, and hydrodynamic parsimonious model) and depth.
Only the effects of single groups, combinations of groups, and single groups conditioned to single groups and combinations of groups are shown. The (+) sign indicates that the variance is explained by that combination of variables. The (|) sign indicates that the variance explained by the group on the left is conditional on the variance explained by the group(s) on the right of the sign.
