Table IV
Probability values (P) of the ANCOVA analyses to test for differences in the Y-intercept and slope of the equations of the four Quercus species when each leaf stage was considered separately (n = 30 per species in each leaf stage). A significant interaction indicates differences in slope; only if the interaction is not significant can differences in the Y-intercept (species factor) be interpreted.
Species | CCI | Interaction | |
---|---|---|---|
Young leaves | < 0.0001 | < 0.0001 | 0.0815 |
Fully expanded leaves | < 0.0001 | < 0.0001 | < 0.0001 |
Mature leaves | < 0.0001 | < 0.0001 | 0.3706 |
