Table 3. Correlations among different measures of species shade tolerance.

Shade-tolerance measures	Low-light abundance	Sapling ratio	Mortality	Light environment
Sapling ratio	0.25*
Mortality	0.45**	ns
Light environment	−0.52**	ns	−0.37**
LCP	ns	ns	ns	ns

Notes:

^**P ≤ 0.001;

^*P ≤ 0.01;

ns is for non-significant difference.
