Effect of seed rain intensity (seed rain) and substrate on total aboveground biomass (A) and species richness (B) assessed using ANOVA and on species composition based on presence/absence of each species (C) assessed using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA).

The tests are done for each time period separately. Var. indicates proportion of variance explained by the given independent variable from the total variation in the data (R2 values in case of ANOVA, A and B). Significant values p≤0.05 are in bold, marginally significant values p≤0.1 are in italics, n.s. indicates p>0.1. Df Error = 54.
