The effect of placement, region and habitat on biomass, biomass allocation and translocation of 14C in Aegopodium podagraria analysed by three-way Anovas. Site is where the plants grew during the experiment, which was South or North Sweden. Regional origin (SSwe or NSwe) is denoted as region and habitat origin (shaded or open) as habitat. Biomass is measured as g dry weight. Degrees of freedom = 1 for all factors, total d.f. =  140. Numbers are F-values. Significant effects are denoted with asterisks; *** = P<0.001, ** = P<0.01, * = P<0.05, 1 P = 0.059.
