* denotes the p-level of student's t-tests for the species in the two habitats. *  =  p<0.05, **  =  p<0.01, ***  =  p<0.001, ns  =  non-significant. Ss  =  small shrub (≤0.5 m), Ms  =  middle shrub (0.5–2 m), Ls  =  large shrub (2–5 m), St  =  small tree (5–8 m), Mt  =  middle tree (8–25 m), Lt  =  large tree (≥25 m); NH & DH  =  sprout number in natural & in disturbed habitat, respectively; Abbr.  =  the abbreviation of the species studied. CS denotes climax species and LP does long-lived pioneer. The species are sorted according to the column of DH/NH.
