Table 2 Estimated mean percent vegetation functional groups and ground cover, associated 95% confidence interval (CI) and Wald chi-square p-value for logging treatments: “no logging,” “bole only,” and “whole tree” and pine introduction treatments: “natural regeneration,” “broadcast seeding,” and “planted seedlings” at the Rogers Research Site, Northern Laramie Mountains, Wyoming, as measured in summer 2017

From: Ponderosa pine introduction methods following a high-severity stand-replacing fire to promote forest regeneration
