Spatial distribution pattern across multiple microbial groups along an environmental stress gradient in tobacco soil

Table 1 Significance tests of the differences of dissimilarity among the bacterial, fungal, and protistan communities and null model simulations and overall stochastic and deterministic ratios

	Dissimilarity of actual communities	Dissimilarity of the null expectations	F	P	Stochastic ratio	Deterministic ratio
Bacteria	0.437	0.596	282.37	< 0.001***	83.40%	16.60%
Fungi	0.718	0.681	24,785.52	< 0.001***	46.30%	53.70%
Protist	0.336	0.682	262.6	< 0.001***	69.90%	30.10%

The P-values were corrected for nonindependence of pairwise comparisons using a permutation test and significantly differed at the level of 0.001***
