Disentangling the role of sex dimorphism and forest structure as drivers of growth and wood density in expanding Juniperus thurifera L. woodlands

Table 2 Wood density LMM coefficients. The marginal and conditional r2 are also shown. The level site: Maranchón and the level stage: expanding is included in the intercept. SE standard error. Plot was included as a random effect in the model, but the within-group variance (or residual variance, σ2) and the between-group variance (or random intercept variance, τ00 Plot) were effectively 0
