Effect of vegetation type and elevation as revealed by ANOVA (F values, with p in parentheses) on community-weighted measures of leaf and litter traits and litter mass, N, and P loss during decomposition.

Degrees of freedom are 1,36 for V, 5,36 for E and 5,36 for V × E. Values in boldface indicate statistical significance at p≤0.05. LDMC is leaf dry matter content; SLA is specific leaf area.aData transformed (by ln x) before analysis. bData transformed (by log (arcsine x)) before analysis.cData transformed (by √1 + (arcsine x)) before analysis.
