Tree Mortality following Prescribed Fire and a Storm Surge Event in Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) Forests in the Florida Keys, USA
Table 2
-statistic and -value from a General Linear Model (GLM) used to test differences in mean percent pine mortality after one year of prescribed burns. The plot-level mean tree mortality data from 12 plots in four blocks (1998-O, 1999-S, 1999-O, and 1999-S) were used. The mortality data in the plot 1999-S-W were missing. In the model, understory conditions (U), burning treatments (T), and their interaction (U*T) were the fixed effects, and year (Y) and its interactions (Y*U, Y*T) were the random effects. The three-way interaction (U*T*Y) was used as the mean square (MS) error for the interaction effects. Error terms for the fixed main effects, U and T, were U*Y and T*Y, respectively, and for the random effect, Y, the error term was MS(U*Y) + 0.889*MS(T*Y) – 0.889*MS(error).
