Table 1. Difference in biomass of functional species groups w/gypsy moth defoliation.
Functional group | Scenario comparison | Biomass difference (g C m2) |
Oaks | Baseline emissions, baseline emissions w/GM | +283.69* |
High emissions, high emissions w/GM | +191.33* | |
Pines | Baseline emissions, baseline emissions w/GM | −76.6 |
High emissions, high emissions w/GM | −232.70* |
Legend/footnotes: Difference in area-weighted biomass of two major functional groups for 4 scenario comparisons at simulation year 100 across the landscape. GM represents inclusion of gypsy moth in the scenario. Positive values indicate higher values in the second listed scenario, negative larger in the first scenario. * denotes significance at p = 0.05 as determined by pairwise Tukey's HSD.
