Significant p values at 0.05 are in bold. Treatment abbreviations: BK = block, SP = species, FS = feedstock, T = temperature, SO = soil; other abbreviations: repa = replicates within a block. Note that if an F value was very large in comparison to others (in bold), that factor would be considered as more important than others, even if they all had significant p values.
