Appendix A. Summary of results for an ANCOVA testing the effects of CO2, N addition, diversity, and plant traits on amounts of damage from four classes of natural enemies.
TABLE A1. ANCOVA of the effects of the CO2, N, and diversity treatments and three plant traits: height, pubescence (“pub”), and specific leaf area (SLA), on the three classes of herbivores.

Notes: For the herbivore classes, F values are presented, and denominator degrees of freedom ranged from 197546. For disease, chi-square values are presented from the logistic ANCOVA. Significance is indicated as follows: * < 0.05, ** < 0.01, *** < 0.001, **** < 0.0001.
