Table 5 Results of one-way ANOVA (F, Fisher test; P, probability) performed on the traits sampled, for each species, in the different geographical locations and testing the differences between the two fire modalities. In italics: log transformed data; in bold: significant results. PHF, P. halepensis in “Fire” modality; PHNF, P. halepensis in “Non-Fire” modality; PSF, P. sylvestris in “Fire” modality; PSNF, P. sylvestris in “Non-Fire” modality

From: Does recent fire activity impact fire-related traits of Pinus halepensis Mill. and Pinus sylvestris L. in the French Mediterranean area?
