Table 2 List of diagnostic species for topographic positions (S: south-facing slope, B: bottom, and N: N-facing slope) in dolines. Within blocks, species are listed by decreasing values of the phi (Φ) coefficient. Fidelity values (Φ × 100) of beech forest species, oak forest species, and species of disturbed forests are indicated with superscripts b, o, and d, respectively. Non-diagnostic species were excluded with Fisher’s exact test (p < 0.05)

From: Forest age and topographic position jointly shape the species richness and composition of vascular plants in karstic habitats
