Table 1 Percentage of the variability in annual height and diameter increments explained by the factors family (mother tree), density (Nelder circle number), replicate (Nelder plot), age (2, 3 or 4 years old saplings) and inbreeding (outcrossed or selfed saplings), with n the number of categories for each factor.

From: Inbreeding depression affects the growth of seedlings of an African timber species with a mixed mating reproductive system, Pericopsis elata (Harms) Meeuwen
