Table 3 Change in cover and species richness of native and introduced plants as the differences in total cover (A cover) and in the fraction of total cover (% change) from year 0 to year 7 at China Gulch and Hukill Hollow, in southern Oregon, USA. Changes in percent cover (mean) and species richness (mean) were based on 1 m2 plots, seeded and unseeded (n = 30 each). Differences between unseeded and seeded plots were not significant. Compare with Table 2 in Coulter et al. (2010).
