TABLE 1.

The impact of leaf flush, season, latitude (linear and squared) and its interactions on species richness, evenness and composition of the foliar fungal community of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). Shown are χ ² values (models on richness and evenness), F‐values (models on community composition), degrees of freedom, p‐values and marginal R ² values. For community composition, results are given for both absolute counts and presence‐absence of species. Statistically significant results (p < 0.05) are shown in bold
