Best-fit linear mixed-effect models testing the effects of forest type, slope, slope position, and first-order interactions on beta diversity components.

<p>Notes: F values of parameters included in best-fit models for each response variable are given. Empty cells indicate parameters that were considered initially in models but finally were not included in best-fit models according to log-likelihood tests.
