Comparison of density (abundance/m²), species richness and diversity among forest types assessed using Kruskal–Wallis tests

Parameter	Forest type			df	χ²	P
Parameter	Coniferous	Broadleaved	Mixed	df	χ²	P
Species richness per sample	4.91 ± 0.17^a	2.88 ± 1.57^b	6.90 ± 1.35^a	2	8.406	0.015
Species diversity per sample (H′)	1.18 ± 0.35^a	0.70 ± 0.36^a	1.59 ± 0.22^a	2	5.672	0.059
Density (no. individuals m⁻²)	3510 ± 1169^ab	2781 ± 2056^b	5275 ± 1250^a	2	6.313	0.043

For each forest types we provided mean ± SE calculated from mean values per plot. Groups marked by the same letter within rows did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) according to Fisher’s posteriori test
