Contrasting effects of experiencing temporally heterogeneous light availability versus homogenous shading on plant subsequent responses to light conditions

Table 1 F-values from three-way ANCOVA for log-transformed total mass (TM) and ANOVA for late growth of total mass (LG_TM), composite late growth (LG_C, mean late growth for traits of stem basal diameter, stem length, maximum leaf area, shoot biomass and root biomass), malondialdehyde content (MDA), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activity, showing effects of species (SP), early treatment (ET), and late treatment (LT) and their interactions, with log10 (initial size [IS]) nested in the species effect as a covariate in ANCOVA
