Shown are the results of a reduced model that includes all sites with simultaneous AGI and filter data run in duplicate or triplicate. For sites with triplicate determinations only samples 1 and 2 were included. Wood type (P = 0.78) and the interaction between site type and sampler (P = 0.46) were not significant and were eliminated from the full model.
Grand mean, comparison of data after controlling for all listed parameters and interactions; site type, debarking, sawing, sorting, or planing; sampler, AGI or filter; Residual, error term; replicate, two randomly selected replicate samples with each sampler were used in this analysis; Rep∗, interaction terms between the replicates and the site type and sampler.
dF, degrees of freedom.
SS, sum of squares.
MS, mean square.
