  1. Coef., coefficient.
  2. aWhole model P-values are given in the top row. These were calculated by comparing the models to their respective null models using F statistics. High P-values (P > 0.05) indicate no dependency on the model factors. Non-significant models (glucose, lignin, silicon, iron, aluminum, copper) are not shown.
  3. bP-values for each factor indicate the statistical significance of this factor in the model, with low values indicating high significance. Non-significant interactions terms (P > 0.1) were removed from the model by single-term backwards model reduction.
