Table 2.
Variation in the amount of forest cover surrounding experimental blocks in the SAFE Project. (a) Values represent the F and p-values from a mixed effect model testing for different forest cover amounts among the experimental blocks at five spatial scales. (b) Mean forest cover (±1 s.e.) surrounding sampling points in each of the six experimental blocks. (c) Pearson correlation coefficient between forest cover at the five spatial scales. Values in bold are significant with p < 0.05.
