The species properties and the mean sprout number per individual (mean±SE) in natural habitat and in disturbed habitat for the 15 species studied.

* denotes the p-level of student's t-tests for the species in the two habitats. * = p<0.05, ** = p<0.01, *** = p<0.001, ns = non-significant. Ss = small shrub (≤0.5 m), Ms = middle shrub (0.5–2 m), Ls = large shrub (2–5 m), St = small tree (5–8 m), Mt = middle tree (8–25 m), Lt = large tree (≥25 m); NH & DH = sprout number in natural & in disturbed habitat, respectively; Abbr. = the abbreviation of the species studied. CS denotes climax species and LP does long-lived pioneer. The species are sorted according to the column of DH/NH. The species properties and the mean sprout number per individual (mean±SE) in natural habitat and in disturbed habitat for the 15 species studied.
