APPENDIX 3

Mean values of six descriptive variables measured in the field for each of the 13 habitats (n = 252 quadrats). Shade represents total shade cover (%) of vascular plants over the ground layer. Mean height of trees was estimated from the four tallest trees occurring in each of the four quadrants of the sampling pixels. See Fig. 3 for more details on the other descriptive variables. Habitat codes are defined in Table 1.
