- 5. Average Litterfall (‘15, ’16, ‘17). Phosphorus Depresses Leaf Litter Production
- 6. Calculating belowground C allocation requires putting both of these in the same units and estimating year-round soil respiration--stay tuned! RESULTS N decreases soil respiration (and likely belowground C allocation) P decreases leaf production (does this relate to greater diameter growth?) Can we conclude that P matters more aboveground and N matters more belowground?
Editor's Notes
- What goes down must come up. Litterfall must get respired, in the long run,
- ** No Detectable Difference Hypothesis: H0: μC = μN = μNP =μP H1: at least one of means is different F: 1.73 Fcrit: 2.81 Reject hypothesis P value: 0.17
- ** No Detectable Difference Hypothesis: H0: μC = μN = μNP =μP H1: at least one of means is different F: 1.96 Fcrit: 2.81 Reject hypothesis P value: 0.13 Here we perform Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to test whether the means of the treatment types are equal. The one-way analysis of variance is used to determine whether there are any statistically significant differences between the means of three or more independent groups. It’s odd that the technique is called "Analysis of Variance" rather than "Analysis of Means." but appropriate because inferences about means are made by analyzing variance. The X is the mean Bar is median Box is interquartile range (middle 50%) Whiskers are extrema ANOVA and Box whisker plots suggest that N and N+P may
