n, number of observations; UC, uncertainty; 1, Dystrophic loose substrates; 2, Eutrophic loose substrates; 3, High base saturation; 4, Low base saturation; DF, Deciduous forest; CF, Coniferous forest; MF, Mixed forest.

± indicating variation by standard errors.

Different letters indicate a 0.05 significance level, tested by a two-way anova and the attended Tukey HSD test for each substrate group individually.
