Table 3. Results of the studied species composition response to the forest patch predictors at a 20-meter radius in the redundancy analysis (RDA), explained in the lowland plantation forest area, sorted by percentage of explained variance.
Note that significant P values are in bold. Canopy openness represents openness of tree canopy cover above every trap. Oak and spruce represent their percentage of tree species composition. Plants, mosses and shrubs represent percentage of cover at the understory level.
