Table 3 Effect of forest types (Np deciduous Nothofagus pumilio, Nb evergreen N. betuloides, M mixed forests) and geographical location (coast, mountain) on proportions related to potential seed production (%) of female flowers (FF), immature fruits (without damage—IF, predated by insects—IFI, predated by birds—IFB) and seeds (without damage—S, predated by insects—SI and predated by birds—SB)
From: Flowering and seeding patterns in pure and mixed Nothofagus forests in Southern Patagonia
