Table 3.

Summary of three-way ANOVA (sum of squares [SS] given as percentage of total SS) showing the effects of fraction (i.e. type) of tissue from adventitious roots (basal zone of root with secondary aerenchyma, mature zone of root, root tip or nodule), two mineral nitrogen (N) concentrations (0 or 11 mm NO3) and two flooding regimes (drained or waterlogged) on respiration and porosity of Melilotus siculus. Treatments were imposed 28 d after imbibition, for 21 d (plants were 49 d old when measured)

Parameter Figure where data appear Main effects Two-way interaction Three-way interaction
Tissue N Flooding Tissue × N Tissue × flooding N × flooding Flooding × N × tissue Residual
Respiration 4 73.9*** <0.01ns 2.3* 2.5ns 2.8ns 1.3ns 0.9ns 16.3

d.f. = 3 for all factors and interactions except N, flooding and N × flooding, where d.f. = 1; d.f. = 32 for residuals.
