Neighborhood composition effects on mechanisms suspected to influence damage to Solanum carolinense (arthropod load, herbivore preference, microclimate, and resistance).

The effects of total density, Solanum density and Solidago frequency are shown with standardized regression coefficients from linear models. The correlations between mechanisms and Solanum damage are shown with correlations coefficients, R (± 95% CI). Values in bold font are statistically significant at P = 0.05 with a Bonferroni-Holm correction.
