Effects of three different maintenance strategies [mowing (m), mowing + selective weeding (s), mowing + selective weeding + burning (b)] on mortality rates of planted target species between June 2010 and June 2013 differentiated by soil type.

<p>Significant differences between management types are indicated by red brackets and asterisks. P<0.1 * P<0.05 ** P<0.01 *** P<0.001. Asterisks on green brackets indicate significant differences between management types for the whole of the planting regardless of soil type. These results could not always be verified at the level of substrate units, but are mostly in accordance with the trend suggested by data distribution.
