  1. Plot averages and standard deviations are provided for the different sites. Plot-level mean wood density is weighted by basal area. For each parameter, significance from Tukey’s honestly significant difference test is provided between brackets comparing the three sites. Values within a row not sharing a common letter differ significantly
