Survey to Evaluate Escape of Eucalyptus spp. Seedlings from Plantations in Southeastern USA

Table 1

Characteristics of sites and stands sampled in this study. Also shown is the number of transects sampled at each site, and the level of confidence (based on transect number) that we would encounter Eucalyptus seedlings if they were present at a particular site (see text for details on how confidence level is calculated).
