Prescribed Burning and Clear-Cutting Effects on Understory Vegetation in a Pinus canariensis Stand (Gran Canaria)

Table 1

Cutting and burning effects on vegetation in Pinus canariensis forest stand (Gran Canaria, Canary Islands). Summary of permutational-repeated measures MANOVA fitted for species composition, richness, and diversity. Results from pairwise t-test for sampling period are not included since they just display differences in species composition between sampling seasons (spring versus winter).
