Table:  Shining Rock & Linville Gorge Wilderness Areas.  Correlations between Environment and Species Richness

Table:  Correlation of total species richness at 5 spatial scales with environmental variables.  Only significant correlations (those at P<0.05) are shown (*=P<0.01, **P<0.001, ***P<0.0001).  No data at this scale indicated by ‘-‘.  No correlation indicated by blank value.

Table:  Species Richness at various scales: Fire-maintained Vegetation of the North Carolina Coastal Plain.

Table:  Significant correlations between environment and species richness at different spatial scales in fire-maintained pinelands of North Carolina.  The first row for each variable refers to pinelands of the outer Coastal Plain of southeastern North Carolina, whereas the second row refers to the Fall-line Sandhills region in the western-most portion of the coastal plain. (Third line under Sand and Silt refers to an upland subset of the Sandhill samples
