Table 3 Covariation values of the mean minimum balanced structure tree number (mean BSN) and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval of the minimum balanced structure tree number (BSN 0.975) with relative frequency, area (showing the geographical distribution of the particular species), and stand density of conifer and oak species investigated, and error probabilities P(Z ≥C), calculated from 5,000 permutations

From: Estimating balanced structure areas in multi-species forests on the Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico
