Table 1 Effect of forest type (Np deciduous Nothofagus pumilio, Nb evergreen N. betuloides, M mixed forests) and geographical location (coast, mountain) on forest structure variables: basal area (BA) (m2 ha−1), tree density (N) (n ha−1), dominant height (DH) (m), quadratic mean diameter (MD) (cm), canopy cover (CC) (%), direct radiation (DR) (W m2), diffuse radiation (DF) (W m2) and total radiation ratio (TR) (%). N was ln(Y) transformed to accomplish ANOVA assumptions, but not transformed data are shown
From: Flowering and seeding patterns in pure and mixed Nothofagus forests in Southern Patagonia
