An Ecological Significance of Evergreenness
Abstract
Percentage of evergreenness in 158 forest stands from seven community types in north—central Florida ranged from 0 to 100. In general, the evergreen species are more important on dry sterile sites and the deciduous species on mesic fertile sites. Nine environmental variables or combinations of variables accounted for approximately 51% of the variation in stand evergreenness. The segregation of evergreen species to dry sterile sites may be related to the gradual return of nutrients to the soil or the establishment of a more closed mineral cycle through (1) the leaching of nutrients from leaves and (2) year—round leaf fall.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
