Effect of water stress (A), nutrient availability (B) and pure (C) and mixed (D, E) density on number of dispersal unit morphs a, c and f of Ceratocarpus arenarius plants derived from each dispersal unit morph (mean ± 1 s.e.). Only numbers of each dispersal unit morph ≥ 21.00 and standard errors ≥ 4.34 are shown. Different uppercase letters indicate significant differences in total number of the three dispersal unit morphs and different lowercase letters significant differences in number of each of the three dispersal unit morphs among levels for all treatments of plants from the same dispersal unit morph (P < 0.05). DUa, dispersal unit morph a; DUc, dispersal unit morph c; DUf, dispersal unit morph f; H, high; M, moderate; L, low.
