Selected models for the effects of the treatments on the germination of <i>Erythrina velutina</i> in the field experiment, with the coefficient estimates (± standard error) of the parameters included in each model.

The models were binomial generalised linear mixed models (GLMMs) with germination as the response variable, the presence of Leucaena leucocephala (leu), Capparis flexuosa (cap) or litter (lit) and their interactions as fixed predictor variables and the blocks as a random variable. AIC = Akaike’s Information Criterion; ΔAIC = AIC for each model—AIC for the best model.
