Tree species richness and diversity (Hill numbers) under different grazing intensities (within elevation zone).

Grazing intensity	Upland		Lowland
Grazing intensity	Richness	Diversity	Richness^ns	Diversity^ns
LG	5.33(0.10)^a	3.90(0.62)^a	0.53(0.42)	1.15(0.20)
MG	3.53(1.92)^a	3.90(0.62)^a	0.20(0.20)	1.00(0.00)
HG	0.53(0.42)^b	1.10(0.17^b	0.00(0.00)	1.00(0.00)
Overall mean	3.13(2.37)	2.65(1.50)	0.24(0.33)	1.00(0.00)
P-value	0.037	0.024	0.124	0.160

Values are averages with standard deviation in parentheses. Means within columns with different letters are significantly different (Fisher's LSD test, P < 0.05). ^nsnot significant.
