Table 2 F values of two-way ANOVA testing the differences in live roots biomass, roots necromass and soil variables among different mangrove forest types/sites and soil depth in Hanjiang River Estuary, south China
From: Colonization by native species enhances the carbon storage capacity of exotic mangrove monocultures
