Similarities in species composition of soil seed banks at three time intervals (autumn-spring, spring-summer, and autumn-summer) in forest gaps of three different sizes.

<p>Different lower case letters indicate significant differences in similarities of species composition in different sizes of gaps at the same interval (<i>P</i><0.05). The values for seed bank similarity with the same upper case letters do not differ significantly among the three time intervals in the same gap size (<i>P</i><0.05). Error bars indicate means ± S.E.
