Table 1 Regression coefficients of the linear mixed model applied to total plant diversity (Hill N0), diversity within growth forms (Hill N0) and relative abundance of growth forms, light, and grazing-related taxa for the Holocene

From: Wild and domesticated animal abundance is associated with greater late-Holocene alpine plant diversity
