Table 2.

Annual mean dates of the beginning of flowering and peaks (expressed in days of the year, DOY), and peak intensity (%) for Globularia alypum and Erica multiflora. Each value is the mean of the variable in control and treated plots if the treatment did not affect it

Different letters indicate significantly different means (Fisher post-hoc test of the ANOVA, P < 0·05). Bold type indicates significant inter-annual variability (RM-ANOVA, P < 0·001).
