   Note:  Sample sizes were reduced as needed during statistical analyses to match the assumptions of specific procedures (e.g., repeated measures ANOVA requires equal sample sizes for each cell in the analysis).

† Species lists but no cover data available.

‡ Woody stem data available only from western quadrat of each pair of sample locations.
