Table 3 Results of the ANOVA showing the direct and the interaction effects of RDIc, HBc, and SSc on the three indices of growth response to drought (resistance, resilience, and recovery; n = 269 trees). The Tukey multiple comparisons of means. The number of * corresponds to the p values (*, **, and ***: 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001). See text for details
