Table 1 Results from general linear mixed model testing for the effects of habitat type (two levels: open grassland vs. under tree canopy), rainfall manipulation (two levels: ambient vs. reduced rainfall), temperature manipulation (two levels: ambient vs. increased temperature), and their two-way and three-way interactions (all main effects and interactions treated as fixed factors) on the community-weighted mean for total leaf phenolics.

  1. We included site, the site × habitat type interaction and the site × habitat type × rainfall manipulation interaction as random factors in order to analyse the main factors habitat type and rainfall manipulation with the appropriate error terms. F-values, degrees of freedom (numerator, denominator), and associated significance levels (P) are shown. Significant effects (P < 0.05) are in bold.
