Mixture effects in three-species polyculture (positive and negative values indicate higher and lower biomass in polyculture than monoculture respectively). a Species-level differences in biomass. F. sylvatica showed significant mixture effect (−ve differences) but A. glutinosa and B. pendula had insignificant impacts on biomass. b Stand-level mixture effect. The differences between measured (in polyculture stand) and predicted (calculated from monoculture stands) woody biomass, which were not statistically significant. Bars mean SE (n = 4), Asterisk indicates statistically significant differences
