Table 7 Linear relationship (C. ladanifer, E. umbellata, and E. arborea) (r, F) or Spearman correlation (S. rosmarinus) (ρ) between cover (%) of each species and total seed crop (Log10 + 1 transformed in the first three species) that fell over the 3 years of study (n = 106). Statistical significance (P ≤ 0.05) is marked in bold)
Species | Independent var./Var.1 | Dependent var./Var. 2 | r/ρ | F 1,106 | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
C. ladanifer | Cover (%) | Seed crop Yr1–Yr3 | 0.47 | 28.66 | < 0.001 |
S. rosmarinus | Cover (%) | Seed crop Yr1–Yr3 | 0.47 | < 0.001 | |
E. umbellata | Cover (%) | Seed crop Yr1–Yr3 | 0.54 | 43.92 | < 0.001 |
E. arborea | Cover (%) | Seed crop Yr1–Yr3 | < 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.655 |
