Buffer*Time is the interaction term, i.e. the product term of variables. Buffer and Time denotes variables buffer width and the time since harvested, respectively. Plant and moss species denotes species richness (number of species) and diversities are taxonomic diversities. Values are calculated from log₁₀-transformed data. Species data is from the FAH. Degrees of freedom for the models are 1, 24.
