Analysis of field data
The analysis of field data from Nova Xavantina focused on testing for
differences in, T50 , T5 ,T95 and the decline width, across species and
seasons. Two-way repeated measure linear mixed-effect analysis of
variance (ANOVA) models were fitted using the ‘lme’ function in the
‘nlme’ package (Pinheiro, Bates, DebRoy, and, & R Core Team, 2018).
Season and species were included as fixed effects and individuals
(trees) were included as a random effect in the models. Tukey post-hoc
tests were used to test for differences between specific pairs of
species in the significant models. Data analysis was performed using the
R program, version 3.5.0 (R Core Team, 2018); all means are presented
with ± standard errors and significance results are presented for 95%
confidence interval (CI = 95%, α = 0.05).
