Table 1.
Effects of tissue and species on the concentrations of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), soluble sugar, starch and soluble sugars/starch, tested using a mixed effects model. The treeline was used as a random variable to account for between-treeline variance. The significant levels of p < 0.05 are shown in bold.
