Table 1.

Summary of linear mixed effects analyses on total herbivory and pathogen infestation rates as affected by tree species identity, and respective means (± SD). Analyses were conducted separately for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) communities (df = 4), ectomycorrhizal (EM) communities (df = 4), and communities with both mycorrhizal types (df = 9). Significant effects (P < 0.05) are given in bold. Letters indicate pairwise differences according to Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test.
