Table 4 Results of the ANOVA for each HBc (dry, mesic, and wet) showing the direct effects of RDIc (high, medium, and low) and SSc (dominant, codominant, and suppressed) on the three indices of growth response (values in italics) to drought (resistance, resilience, and recovery; = 269 trees). The Tukey multiple comparisons of means. The table gives p values (significant values in bold). See text for details and Fig. 3 and Annex 6

From: Decreasing stand density favors resistance, resilience, and recovery of Quercus petraea trees to a severe drought, particularly on dry sites
