Analyses of densities (0.1 m²) of recruits at several distances from restored (R) or reference (Ref) patches of <i>Phyllospora</i> (a) six or (b) 12 months after the start of the second experiment.

Distance was fixed with 3 levels (inside, edge, 2.5 m), R vs Ref was fixed with 2 levels, Place was random nested in RvRef (1 level for R; 2 [5 mo.] or 3 [12 mo.] levels for Ref), Patch was random nested in Place (1 level for R; 2 levels for Ref). The replicates were the quadrats (n = 5). Transformation of data in (a) failed to make variances homogeneous; data in (b) were ln(X+1) transformed. Cochran's test for homogeneity of variances: a: C = 0.57, P<0.01; b: C = 0.17 ns. Non-significant terms with P>0.25 were pooled.
