Results of LTRE analyses comparing overall population dynamics and the contribution of single matrix elements to overall population dynamics for the species A. ramosum (AR) and A. liliago (AL) in different localities and years.

The presented values indicate the magnitude of the contribution, with significant values (p≤0.025) shown in bold. For each factor, the contribution to the population growth rate of all levels of the given factor sum to zero. As a result, a positive contribution indicates that the transition increases the overall population growth at the given level of the factor, while a negative contribution indicates that the transition decreases the overall population growth at the given level of the factor. The negative contribution values therefore indicate that this specific transition represents a weak point in the life cycle at the given level of the factor.本次展示的数值代表各项贡献的大小，其中统计学显著性结果（p≤0.025）以加粗格式标注。针对每一项影响因子，其所有水平下对种群增长率的贡献总和为零。据此，正贡献表明在该因子的给定水平下，该转变会提升总体种群增长率；负贡献则表示该转变会降低该因子给定水平下的总体种群增长率。因此，负贡献数值意味着该特定转变在该因子的给定水平下，属于种群生命周期中的薄弱环节。
