Effects of harvest intensity on the marketable organ yield, growth and reproduction of non-timber forest products (NTFPs): implication for conservation and sustainable utilization of NTFPs

Forest Ecosystems

Table 2 One-way ANOVA test for the effects of harvest intensity on the biomass growth rate of marketable organs, height growth, basal diameter growth, the number of sprouts and seed weight of Acanthopanax senticosus and Aralia elata. Significant effects (P < 0.05) are bolded
