Fig. 4From: The effects of stump size and within-gap position on sprout non-structural carbohydrates concentrations and regeneration in forest gaps vary among species with different shade tolerancesConcentrations of leaf NSCs (soluble sugar, starch, and total NSC) in 1-year-old and 2-year-old sprouts at different within-gap positions for three tree species. The data are presented as the mean ± S.D. Different capital letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) among tree species. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) among within-gap positionsBack to article page
