Table 1.
Linear mixed model analysis of seed and bud bank densities among different sampling seasons and community types.
| Variable | Community (Co) | Season (Se) | Co×Se | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VE% | P | VE% | P | VE% | P | |
| Seed bank density | 0.2 | 0.650 | 41.5 | 0.000 | 42.2 | 0.000 |
| Bud bank density | 21.0 | 0.000 | 29.1 | 0.000 | 73.2 | 0.000 |
| d.f. | 1 | 3 | 7 | |||
Community type and sampling season were included as fixed factors, and site was included as a random factor. The percentage of variance explained (VE%) and the level of significance (P) are presented.
