Results of general linear models for the effects of habitats, sampling time (ST), and plant organ (PO) on C, N, P, and C: N: P stoichiometry during the life cycle of Suaeda salsa.

Type Ⅲ sums of squares, converted to percentages at each level. Analyses were performed on the entire data from intertidal and supratidal habitats, all data were log10-transformed before analysis; d.f. degree of freedom, MS, mean squares, %SS, percentage of sum of squares explained (%); ns indicates not significant (P > 0.05)* indicates statistically significant at the 0.05 significance level (*P**PResults of general linear models for the effects of habitats, sampling time (ST), and plant organ (PO) on C, N, P, and C: N: P stoichiometry during the life cycle of Suaeda salsa.
