  1. Stock is shown as means (n = 3). One-way ANOVA tests were applied among five decay classes and five diameter sizes. Values followed by different lowercase letters mean significant difference among five decay classes or five diameter sizes at P = 0.05 level. D1–D5 indicated woody debris in diameter of 2 cm ≤ d < 5 cm, 5 cm ≤ d < 10 cm, 10 cm ≤ d < 20 cm, 20 cm ≤ d < 40 cm, d ≥ 40 cm, respectively
