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.
