  • zPruning types: LT = lion’s tailing; RA = raising; RE = reduction; ST = structural; TH = thinning.

  • yTree no.: number assigned to a tree within a pruning type.

  • NS = not statistically significant at P < 0.05.

  • Note: 16 trees had intercepts not equal to zero. This may have slightly over- or underestimated deflection on these trees.
