Table 1 Results of a post-hoc pairwise test between groups of orchids representing different trophies: autotrophic (AT), mixotrophic (MX) mycoheterotrophic (MH) orchids and reference autotrophic non-orchid species (REF) with respect to stoichiometric ratios of nutrients: carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. (PERMANOVA: Pseudo-F = 36.19; df = 3; p = 0.001; p -values based on 999 permutations)

From: Stoichiometry of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus is closely linked to trophic modes in orchids
