Appendix H. Habitat associations of 15 species of Myristicaceae seedlings on the Yasuní forest dynamics plot (FDP).
TABLE H1. Habitat associations of 15 species of Myristicaceae seedling on the Yasuní FDP. Numbers in each habitat show the frequency of occurrence within 5 × 5 m subplots.and P values are from a randomisation test in which habitats were shuffled among plots (see main text for details). Significance indicated by asterisks *P < 0.05, NS = nonsignificant.
