Table 2 Effect of forest types (Np deciduous Nothofagus pumilio, Nb evergreen N. betuloides, M mixed forests) and geographical location (coast, mountain) on quantity (×100 thousand ha−1) of male (MF) and female (FF) flowers, immature fruits (without damage—IF, predated by insects—IFI and predated by birds—IFB), seeds (without damage—S, predated by insects—SI and predated by birds—SB) and potential seed production (PSP)
