Survival and branch loss for tree species in Hurricane Ivan for different wood density classesz.
Wood density (g/cm3) | Sample size (number of trees) | Survival (%) | Survival (%) (recalculated by subtracting trees with ≥50% branch loss) | Branch loss (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.8 to 0.89 | 240 | 94 a | 87 a | 20 ab |
0.6 to 0.69 | 197 | 78 b | 73 b | 18 b |
0.5 to 0.59 | 703 | 73 bc | 66 c | 23 a |
0.4 to 0.49 | 607 | 69 c | 62 c | 19 b |
↵zNumbers in columns with different letters are significantly different at P = 0.05. No tree species occurred in the 0.7 to 0.79 class.
