Table 2 Species turnover (βSIM) and nestedness (βSNE) in European spermatophytes (Sp), ferns (Fe), mosses (Mo) and liverworts (Li): significance level (p-value) of the difference between groups within northern (N, latitude above 46th parallel) and southern Europe (S, latitude below 46th parallel). (Fig. 4).
