Table 3 Selected model testing the effect of pruning intensity (1/3, 2/3), season (fall, spring, summer), and year (2010, 2011_new, and 2011_old) on biomass of epicormic shoots (MASS model)

From: Production and role of epicormic shoots in pruned hybrid poplar: effects of clone, pruning season and intensity
