Effect of seed dispersal and mammal exclusion treatments on percentage change in survival and seedling growth in B. tarairi and C. laevigatus (the first number is for Mt Tiger and the second is for Wenderholm). Recruitment stages measured were seed predation, germination of unpredated seeds, survival of germinated seeds to 1 year and seedling survival during the second year. Treatments that were retained in final models are shown in bold.
