Statistics of the best linear mixed-effects models fitted to basal area increment as a function of soil water balance.

Abstract

<p>Abbreviations: LD, late dry season; EW, early wet season; W, wet season; LW, late wet season; ED, early dry season; D, dry season. Note the relative probability that the selected model is the best one (<i>Wi</i>) and the basal area increment variance (R²) explained by the models. Bold coefficients are significant (<i>P</i>≤0.05). Means sharing a letter were not significantly different using paired Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> tests.</p
