Table 3. Results of the linear mixed models (LMM) for functional diversity.

Disturbed plot mean ± SE Undisturbed plot mean ± SE df p-value
FRic (log transformed) –39.96 (±0.92) –38.75 (±1.22) 11 0.345
FEve 0.66 (±0.02) 0.69 (±0.02) 11 0.218
FDiv 0.73 (±0.02) 0.81 (±0.02) 11 0.003
Rao’s Q 0.02 (±0.001) 0.02 (±0.002) 11 0.078

Note:

Functional richness (FRic), functional divergence (FDiv), functional evenness (FEve), and Rao’s Q were used as response variables in separate models. Plot pair (i.e., disturbed and undisturbed plot location) was a random effect and plot type (disturbed or undisturbed) was a fixed effect. SE stands for standard error and df denotes degrees of freedom. Bold type indicates significant results.
