Model selection results for the survival and growth of Ternstroemia brasiliensis seedlings.

For survival, the models are general linear mixed models (GLMM) of the proportion of surviving seedlings after one year as a binomial response.For growth, the models are linear mixed models (LMM) and increase in aboveground biomass after a year as a Gaussian response. Neighbor presence (NE), proximity to the seashore (SEA), and their interaction (NE:SEA) are the fixed variables, and block is the random variable. For each response variable all models include the same random effects structure. The selected models (Δ AIC
