Appendix 2—table 3. Results of linear models of leaf damage excluding undamaged leaves (this study) – leaf damage including undamaged leaves (from other plots of the BEF-China experiment) for the four species used in this study.

These models were used to correct the potential bias of herbivory estimates as a result of only collecting damaged leaves.
