Postfire Burnt-Wood Management Affects Plant Damage by Ungulate Herbivores

Table 2

Summary of the nominal logistic model for risk of herbivory (proportion of plants that suffered herbivory by ungulates) and two-way ANOVA for damage intensity (proportion of shoots consumed by ungulates in attacked plants) suffered by Ulex parviflorus seedlings in the years 2006 and 2007 (one- and two-year-old plants, resp.). Treatments are no intervention, partial cut plus lopping, and salvage logging.
