Table 2 Analysis of variance table for linear models in the form: trait ~ species|family × forest type. Prior to model fitting, traits were log10 transformed in the case of leaf area, root diameter, SRL, root tissue density, and root branching intensity to improve data normality

From: Correction to: Morphological variation of fine root systems and leaves in primary and secondary tropical forests of Hainan Island, China
