Table 3.

Bulk density of capitula section, stem section and total sample. Data are mean values ± SE, pooled within temperature treatment (see Table 1) and within competition treatment. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments within a species (P < 0.05). There were no significant interactions between temperature and competition treatments. fus S. fuscum, bal S. balticum, mag S. magellanicum, cus S. cuspidatum

Values for material from the sites of origin (Field values, n = 5) are given for comparison. Number of observations for each species for each temperature treatment: S. fuscum and S. cuspidatum, n = 10; S. balticum, n = 14–15; S. magellanicum, n = 15. Number of observations for each species for each combination, n = 19–20
