The effects of oak (Quercus) restoration on forest trajectory and small mammal use in the southern Cumberland Plateau, USA

Fire Ecology

Table 4 Mean number of bat passes per trap night (± standard error) from June to August 2019 from oak restoration sites 1, 2, and 3 and three unmanaged forest controls on the southern Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee, USA. The larger-bodied bat species are listed in bold. P-values were estimated with a three-way ANOVA with bootstrapped nonparametric comparisons
