  1. Different lower case letter indicates significant differences at P < 0.05. The values of multiple EFs are obtained by the average of the standardized values (Z-score) related variables. CG: control group; SL1: selective logging one time; SL2: selective logging two times; SL3: selective logging three times; SL4: selective logging four times; SL5: selective logging five times. The interval of selective logging is about 7–8 years
