Appendix F. The results are presented of one way ANOVAs testing for differences in (a) short sapling density, (b) tall sapling density, (c) volume of dead wood state 3, (d) volume of dead wood state 5, (e) canopy cover (%) and (f) canopy height among unlogged forest (P), older logged forest (L89), and recently logged forest (L93).
Habitat variables varied significantly among forest types (Fig. F1). For example, short sapling abundance was significantly higher (using one way ANOVAs in Statistics for Windows 6.1, Statsoft, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA) in older logged and recently logged forest than unlogged forest ((F2, 34 = 11.65, P < 0.001), but there was no significant difference between older logged and recently logged forest. Tall sapling abundance was significantly higher in unlogged forest than recently logged forest ((F2, 34 = 5.75, P = 0.007) but there were no significant differences between unlogged and older logged forest or older logged and recently logged forest. The volume of dead wood state 3 was significantly higher in recently logged forest than unlogged forest ((F2, 34 = 5.52, P = 0.008); older logged forest contained intermediate volumes of dead wood state 3 and did not differ significantly from unlogged or recently logged forest. The volume of dead wood state 5 was significantly higher in unlogged forest than older logged and recently logged forest ((F2, 34 = 9.93, P < 0.001) that did not differ significantly. Canopy cover was significantly higher in unlogged and recently logged forest than older logged forest ((F2, 34 = 15.91, P < 0.001), but there was no significant difference between unlogged and recently logged forest. Canopy height was higher in unlogged forest although the difference was at the margin of significance (F2, 34 = 2.83, P = 0.073).

| FIG. F1. Mean (error bars are 95% confidence intervals) (a) short sapling density, (b) tall sapling density, (c) volume of dead wood state 3, (d) volume of dead wood state 5, (e) canopy cover (%) and (f) canopy height in unlogged forest (P), older logged forest (L89) and recently logged forest (L93). Means that differ significantly (P < 0.05) do not share any lowercase letter. |
