Leaf moisture (LM) (%) means of the three regenerative strategies [seeder (S), resprouter (R) and seeder–resprouter (SR)], in summer, autumn and winter. Vertical bars denote 0·95 confidence intervals. Post hoc Fisher's l.s.d. comparisons showing significant differences (P < 0·05) are indicated with different letters. Upper case letters (A, B, C) indicate significant differences between seasons, and lower case letters (a, b, c) indicate post hoc differences between seasons for a given strategy. All the species (except C. spinosa and C. monogyna) are included.
